SF DA @ChesaBoudin has fought for a more fair, effective, and accountable justice system.

Now Republicans, the police union, and the rich are banding together to overturn the results of the election and the will of the voters.

We won't let them: StandWithChesa.com Chesa promised to end mass incarceration.

Despite historic obstacles, he cut San Francisco's jail population by 40 percent to prevent a COVID-19 outbreak and crime rates fell 30 percent. #StandWithChesa

As the Derek Chauvin trial begins, let’s back up for a second.

Why did Chauvin think he could kill George Floyd in the first place?

Why did he think that he had a right to do whatever he wanted with this Black man’s life and face no consequences?

Meet @Krasner4DA. Larry Krasner was among the first candidates @RealJusticePAC backed in prosecutor elections in 2017.

Larry is a lifelong civil rights lawyer and had gained notoriety over the years for defending activists from #BlackLivesMatter, ActUp, and #Occupy. He ran on a platform of ending the death penalty, tackling mass incarceration, treating drug addiction as a disease not a crime.
