Description

A series of police shootings in Vallejo over the last few years has mobilized residents to city hall in protest. This week, the families of Angel Ramos, Willie McCoy, and Ronnell Foster -- three men of color shot and killed by Vallejo police -- demanded truth, justice and accountability from the department. Vallejo, a city of about about 120,000 people and one of the most racially-diverse cities in America, is right across the Bay from the politically-active cities of Oakland and San Francisco. Vallejo residents have vowed to continue protesting until justice is served, and people are starting to pay attention.
