The Sean Monterrosa Project was born from loss, love, and a commitment to make sure no family has to navigate this journey alone.
As the surviving sisters of Sean Monterrosa, who was killed by the Vallejo Police Department on June 2, 2020, we know firsthand that police violence does not end with the loss of a loved one. Its impact ripples through families, communities, and generations. In the aftermath of Sean's death, our family was forced to navigate grief, public scrutiny, and systems that too often fail the people most impacted by violence.
Rather than allowing Sean's story to be defined by the worst thing that happened to him, we made a commitment to honor his life through action. Our work is rooted in the belief that the people closest to the harm are also closest to the solutions.
