Let's not kid ourselves - this was not just limited to death penalty cases. If they were excluding Black and Jewish people in death cases, they were doing it in ALL CASES! This just the tip of the iceberg. oaklandside.org/2024/04/22/ala…

An absolute bombshell. Alameda County prosecutors allegedly kept Black people and Jews off juries in murder cases, believing they would not convict if the death penalty was in play. Now dozens of capital cases from prior decades must be reviewed. oaklandside.org/2024/04/22/ala…
💣U.S. District Court Judge Vince Chhabria: "strong evidence that, in prior decades, prosecutors from the [Alameda County District Attorney] office were engaged in a pattern of serious misconduct, automatically excluding Jewish and African American jurors in death penalty cases."
Alameda County prosecutors’ notes prove systemic racism. They removed Black and Jewish jurors from death penalty cases. Absolutely appalling but not surprising. Racism in jury selection must not be tolerated. #AbolishTheDeathPenalty kqed.org/news/11983705/…
Our 5th Annual Block party just got underway at DeFremery Park in West Oakland. Come thru! Food, bike raffle, DJ, and connections to services. We’ve got over 50 organizations here! All are welcome! #CommunityBlockParty #Defenders #TheTown
Been talking to public defenders from different counties throughout the state tonight and I wish the world knew how dedicated these people are when it comes to fighting for our clients, fighting for justice. Defenders can do so much good if funded properly. #FundPublicDefense
PDPP has saved the state tens of millions of taxpayer dollars. Discontinuing support now will undermine the progress made & and diminish its potential for future positive impacts. People deserve & need opportunity for change & redemption. PDPP makes it possible. @lapubdef

Thank you @KTVU for having me on this morning w/ @andresenior to talk about our 5th Annual Community Block Party at DeFremery Park on 4/20 from 11:00 am-3:00. There'll be music, food, bike raffle, games, face painting, connection to services and more. All are welcome. #Community
The Alameda County Public Defenders Community Block Party is just a few days away! Join us at DeFremery Park on 4/20 from 11:00 am-3:00 pm for music, food, bike raffle, games, face painting, connection to services and more. All are welcome. #Community #Defenders
Yesterday we helped defeat a bill that would’ve made it harder for Black & Brown people to serve as jurors. Prosecutors shouldn’t be allowed to remove Black people from juries just b/c they’ve had a negative experience w/police. That is simply a reality of being Black in America
Never know who you’re gonna run into when you’re at the office on a Sunday. And we’re both in the @earhustlesq gear. Woods brothers enjoying another beautiful day in Oakland. #TheTown

One of the primary functions of police is to violently crush progressive social movements. It's one of the reasons expanding the size and power of police is always authoritarian and is never an answer to inequality. *It is a key part of preserving inequality, in all its forms.*
