Progressive Prosecutors: The Future of Criminal Justice Reform

The Wellstone Democratic Renewal Club is hosting a panel on “Progressive Prosecutors: The Future of Criminal Justice Reform.”

Alameda County District Attorney PAMELA PRICE and former San Francisco District Attorney CHESA BOUDIN will join us in conversation with Cristine Soto DeBerry, Executive Director of the Prosecutors Alliance (a statewide progressive organization).

As you may know, the attempt to overturn the election of DA Price is underway, and the collection of signatures on an official recall petition will be starting very soon. If enough signatures are collected within a mandated time period, there will be a recall election. With so much hostile misinformation about Price circulating in the media and on social media, we need to take this threat seriously. The problem has been compounded by not enough public understanding of what she can and cannot do as DA, or of why her office has made certain decisions in controversial cases, plus so little reporting on her positive accomplishments during her short time in office.

It’s important that supporters of DA Price and her progressive platform stay well informed and do all that we can to help “protect the win.” This in-person meeting (wear a mask if you’d like, though we’re not requiring it) will be supplemented with a Zoom option. Questions for the panelists will be submitted via index cards in the meeting room and via the chat on Zoom.
