When a family's world ends, the coalition is already moving.
The Building Bridges Coalition leads the street response, carries the family, and demands the whole record — until justice is served.
Rapid Response
On the ground from night one. Organizing the community's answer within hours — rallies, vigils, and presence that cannot be ignored.
Family Support
Speaking for the family when they can't — vigils, funerals, and the long walk after the cameras leave. The family's voice amplified; the family's wishes respected.
Truth & Transparency
Body cameras. Dash cameras. Surveillance. Dispatch audio. Independent autopsies. The whole record, without edits or redactions.
Accountability
Formal demands, national boycotts, court presence. Consequences — because condolences were never enough.
"Our demands are to release all store surveillance footage — to release the audio and transcript of the alleged 911 call… and we don't want to wait six to nine months to get it."
Marquell Bridges — President & Founder, Building Bridges Coalition · Mississippi Free Press, July 2026Transparency builds trust. Respect saves lives.
Issued by the coalition in the case of Kohen Kartier Wiley, June 2026 — the template for every case it carries.
Release all Walmart surveillance footage from before and leading up to the incident.
Release all body camera and dash camera footage and audio.
Release internal police emails from three days before, the day of, and three days after the shooting.
Release the audio and full transcript of the alleged 911 call.
Full accountability for the officer — termination, decertification, arrest, and prosecution.
Every name is a family. No family stands alone.
Each family's story lives in its own dedicated space under the coalition's roof — held with dignity, driven toward the truth.
Kohen Kartier Wiley
A Senatobia officer fired into the car he was riding in, outside a Walmart, over a shoplifting call. An independent autopsy ruled his death a homicide. The coalition has led the response since the first night — marches, town halls, five formal demands, a national boycott.
Folks need to see it. This is what standing up looks like.
The record in pictures — the marches, the lines held, the tables shared. The full story lives on each family's page.
Mississippi is the ground. The nation is the reach.
What is documented cannot be dismissed.
The coalition's work, in the national and Mississippi press.
The bridge is built by hands. Add yours.
Join the coalition. March when we march. Show up when a family needs a thousand people behind them.
Start by adding your name. That's all it takes to stand with these families.
