what we do
The ACDA Accountability Table advances priority policy issues to the DA’s office to disrupt and end pipelines of mass incarceration. In addition, we challenge the DA’s office to bring home members of our communities by implementing state reforms and leveraging their institutional power.
The People’s Priorities
By adopting transformative policies and practices – rooted in prevention, restoration, transparency, and accountability – the new Alameda County DA has the power to begin to undo the devastating impact of incarceration on communities of color.
#KnowYourDA
We educate Alameda County residents about the power of the District Attorney and the impact this position has on our criminal legal system.
