The organizers must submit slightly more than 73,000 signatures to put the recall question before voters.
Save Alameda For Everyone supporters take part in a rally to recall Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price on the steps of the René C. Davidson Courthouse on Monday, March 4, 2024, in Oakland, Calif. SAFE members delivered over 110,000 signatures to be verified by the county Registrar of Voters on Monday, in hopes of triggering a recall election.
“We shouldn’t have to do this,” said Brenda Grisham, a recall leader. “But for the safety of our community, for the safety of our children, the safety of our businesses, this is something that had to be done.” In a statement released ahead of the rally, Price’s campaign said the recall effort threatened to be “a serious regression for democracy in Alameda County,” one that would “undermine the results of a free and fair election” and “jeopardize the historic progress achieved in recent years.”as an attempt by “a handful of super-rich people” to sway “a smaller number of political actors to make it appear that Alameda County residents are the motivational force behind this effort.

The effort has little precedent in Alameda County’s history. A statement by Alameda County Counsel Donna Ziegler in mid-August said that no recall election had been held in the county for at least 30 years — “if ever.”, with opponents first holding a rally in April 2023 calling for her removal from office on the same courthouse steps where Monday’s gathering was held.
