We hope that the announcement of these charges against Mario’s killers paves the way for additional charges against officers involved in killing other community members in Alameda County. #JusticeforMario#JusticeforAugie#JusticeforErik (4/4)
Prosecutorial misconduct undermines the integrity of our legal system & erodes public trust. In this case, it also has led to the sentencing of dozens of people to their deaths through unfair trials. We urge for the investigations to be completed & for immediate redress. (3/3)
For too long, prosecutors sought to win cases at any cost, including engaging in serious civil rights & constitutional violations. This discovery highlights how important it is to have a DA who prioritizes ethics & commits to rooting out racist practices in the system. (2/3)
Last week, @AlamedaCountyDA uncovered evidence of a 30-year practice where judges & DAs excluded Black & Jewish jurors from death penalty cases. All pending death penalty cases will be reviewed based on this serious finding of prosecutorial misconduct (1/3)

.@AlamedaCountyDA recently charged 3 cops for killing Mario Gonzalez. This marks a critical step forward in police accountability for violence that too often leads to death for POC. We applaud her for doing what her predecessors did not have the courage to do. (1/4)
Oakland tenants show up in powerful numbers urging City Council to pass a step down to the eviction moratorium without amendments! We stand with Oakland tenants! Pass the moratorium step down now!
A selective group of media has failed to address the community's dire need to center violence prevention conversations that address the root causes of violence, which will ensure that we take the necessary steps and investments to address public safety for ALL. (2/5)
We can’t ignore how much the media has allowed itself to be a tool to advance the right’s political agenda. Instead of centering victims and highlighting their diverse needs, the media fuels fear, hatred, and vengeance, which moves us further from public safety. A 🧵(1/5)

Countless people have been unfairly incarcerated and are still doing time due to sentence enhancements. This policy change creates an opportunity to resentence those who have been harmed by sentence enhancements. @ppricecares#KnowYourDA#100Days4Community#CareNotCages
The @OJPOJJDP study shows youth crime across categories has fallen dramatically since the mid-90's, so why is so much money being spent on youth incarceration?
We keep us safe! Not the police.
