In 2017, Marissa Barrera’s brother, Michael Barrera, was murdered by police. That day, she became more than a grieving sister—she became an organizer, frontline activist, and relentless voice for justice.

Since then, Marissa has worked nationwide, bringing together impacted families, challenging police narratives, and exposing systemic corruption.

Through media, digital storytelling, and grassroots organizing, she ensures that the families forced into this fight are seen, heard, and supported.

Her work goes beyond calling out injustice—it’s about strategizing real action, mobilizing communities, and making sure no family stands alone.
