As you may have heard, District Attorney Chesa Boudin was recalled in the June 7th primary election. The mayor will have 10 days after the Department of Elections certifies the results to appoint his successor. That means Mayor Breed is making her decision about who will be our next DA now.
Join our Twitterstorm on Monday, June 27th from 10-11am to tell Mayor Breed that San Francisco communities want a DA who will continue to lead us on the path towards racial and economic justice by being a champion for criminal justice reform. We want to flood the mayor with tweets before she appoints our next DA. Join us – it will take less than 5 minutes! You can use our toolkit which has sample tweets. Or just click here to send a tweet automatically! Also, be sure to sign our petition too.
Regardless of who the mayor appoints, we will work to ensure that they seek justice and safety for working-class communities of color in San Francisco. SF Rising is teaming up with the ACLU of Northern California to co-convene the SF District Attorney Accountability Alliance. We want to make sure that whoever holds the office of district attorney in our city is committed to upholding justice and public safety for all of our communities.
The alliance will bring together community, civil rights, legal, labor and other organizations committed to hold whoever becomes the next San Francisco District Attorney accountable. Our priorities will include:
- Holding police accountable when they break the law
- Maintaining and advancing criminal justice reforms that reduce incarceration and racial bias
- Upholding public safety and law enforcement priorities that focus on rehabilitation and treatment, victims’ services, and long-neglected priorities such as protecting workers’ rights
San Franciscans deserve a DA who will work to eliminate the inequities in our criminal legal system and keep all of us safe. Join us in making sure our next SF DA does just that.
