During her campaign, Suffolk DA Rachael Rollins came up with a list of charges she would not prosecute.

District attorneys should invest in programs to "serve the community and put resources into the community, as opposed to locking everyone up and putting them in cages."

DAs have the power to flood jails and prisons, ruin lives, and deepen racial disparities with the stroke of a pen. But they also have the discretion to do the opposite. Learn more about the #PowerOfProsecutors: https://t.co/07qSCckfE1 #DAdifference #mapoli

By choosing to prosecute a victim of assault, the #Brooklyn DA is not only criminalizing being transgender but authorizing the use of violence. @theappeal
