Proponents of the “Save Alameda for Everyone: Recall DA Pamela Price” campaign have announced that the Alameda County Registrar of Voters approved their petition to collect signatures for a potential recall of District Attorney Pamela Price. The group, also known as SAFE, will have 160 days to gather 73,195 valid signatures from voters in order to qualify the recall for the ballot.
SAFE’s committee includes former Alameda County prosecutors, victims and victims’ families, community activists, and concerned residents.
According to Save Alameda for Everyone, Price has been accused of “empowering criminals by refusing to charge cases, reducing sentences, and replacing experienced prosecutors with unqualified individuals. They argue that this has negatively impacted the ability of the District Attorney’s Office to effectively fight for victims and prosecute criminal cases.”
