On the night of February 9th 2019 our family joined a club nobody wants to be a part of. Our loved one twenty year old Willie McCoy was executed by six Vallejo, California police officers as he lay asleep in his car in the drive thru of a Taco Bell. The officers: Mark Thompson, Anthony Romero -Cano, Jordan Patzer, Bryan Glick, Colin Eaton and Ryan McMahon fired 55 rounds in 3.5 seconds and were back at work before Willie was buried. Like far too many families before us we have experienced the realities of confronting a system where police officers are placed above the law without any consequences or accountability. There are far too many disingenuous city governments and compromised district attorneys that are problematic. This is a life or death problem only the people can fix.

The Willie McCoy Foundation is made up of family members, civil rights activists and passionate volunteers. We are committed to helping at risk young people and those that are less fortunate. With a variety of scholarships, apprentice job opportunities as well as activities such as youth groups, sports, music and dance we are about giving back and uplifting young people in our communities. There is an epidemic of police brutality taking place throughout this country disproportionately against black and brown people. We provide a what to do textbook for families who are forced to experience this tragedy. Families should anticipate misleading statements and dishonest answers while trying to get to the facts. All the while dealing with false narratives and victim blaming. Countless families have had to endure this uncontainable treatment while simultaneously grieving.

To be so young Willie overcame tremendous adversity to put himself in position to be successful in life and have a positive impact on others. In Willie’s spirit we are pulling for those underdog kids who just need a fair opportunity for a chance at a better life. We intend to provide as many of those opportunities as possible. We will shine light on police officers who violate our civil and constitutional rights and shine an even brighter light on a complicit system that has little to no accountability for police officers. By encouraging people in our communities to vote and identifying candidates who represent our needs we hope to do our part to help impact the change that is long overdue.
