Winning Justice: Taking on Prosecutors
Our movement is winning.
Every time we hold prosecutors accountable, we are transforming our criminal justice system and building power for our communities.
The prosecutor accountability movement has developed a winning approach to ending the most unjust, unconstitutional, destructive and racist practices of prosecutors: money bail, over-charging, over-sentencing, over-policing, the drug war, attacking immigrants, sending our kids to adult prisons and keeping secrets about what’s really happening in their offices and in police departments.
We are making real change.
