• Why the District Attorney is so powerful.
• How our Orange-Chatham District policies have fallen behind districts across the state and nation in terms of equity and transparency.
• History of how racism has created + shaped our justice system.
• The policy changes we'll ask both candidates to commit to implementing (read them here!) -- and why it matters.
• Directly from community members who've been impacted by the justice system.
• How you can help build power for a successful DA Candidates' Assembly and nonpartisan Get Out the Vote effort.

You can find the current list of proposed policy changes here.
