SAN FRANCISCO

The law and order reactionary racist rabble, funded by the deep pocket MAGA billionaire crowd, has set its sites on a black woman Pamela Price, District Attorney in Alameda County.
Make no mistake this Recall directed at a progressive black woman is racist at its core.
These reactionaries have succeeded in placing a Recall measure on the ballot to oust the progressive DA. The Recall effort began just months after DA Price took office in January 2023.
This is the same despicable crowd which politically lynched Chesa Boudin, the progressive San Francisco DA two years ago.
The San Francisco Chronicle very directly points out who is behind this insidious effort.
Excerpted from The San Francisco Chronicle 4.15.2024
The recall campaign, with more than $2 million raised for their effort, hired the same consultant who worked on the 2022 campaign that led to the successful recall of former San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin.
Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price is set to face a recall election, the Registrar of Voters announced Monday.
Price, a former civil rights attorney, won her seat with 53% of the vote in 2022 after she promised to reduce mass incarceration, lighten sentences for defendants under age 25 and hold police accountable for misconduct. When she took office, she drew opposition from prosecutors and community members who view her policies as too lenient.
In July, less than seven months into her term, her critics formed a recall committee.
Critics of Price who organized a campaign to remove her from office collected 74,757 valid signatures, the Registrar of Voters said in a statement. The campaign needed at least 73,195 valid signatures to trigger a recall election.
The Board of Supervisors will consider the results at a meeting April 30, the registrar’s office said. The recall campaign called on supervisors to schedule a special election within 125 days as outlined in state law.
