Support BADD: Break the Cycle of Drug Deaths

BADD (Brothers Against Drug Deaths) was founded in memory of Theris Lee “TC” Coats II, who died in custody in San Francisco on March 21, 2025. His life and struggle represent countless others battling addiction and mental illness—especially in Black and underserved communities. At BADD, we’re fighting to break the cycle of drug-related deaths by expanding access to treatment, reentry support, and policy change that prioritizes recovery over incarceration. We believe in dignity, healing, and second chances. Your support will help us launch BADD a community-based organization to connect people to housing, jobs, culturally competent care, and peer mentorship—especially those returning home from incarceration. Help us turn pain into purpose. Stand with us, and together we can save lives and give people the chance to heal and thrive.
