Alameda County voters are being asked on Nov. 5 if they want to recall District Attorney Pamela Price, a progressive prosecutor who was elected to office in 2022.
A group named SAFE, which stands for Save Alameda for Everyone, is organizing the recall.The principal organizer is Brenda Grisham, whose son died of gun violence in 2010. The effort was also initially launched by Carl Chan, former president of Oakland’s Chinatown Chamber of Commerce. The Oaklandside reported that the campaign to recall her has raised more than $3 million.
A group called Protect the Win for Public Safety supports keeping Price in office. According to The Oaklandside, they have raised less than $40,000.Her supporters argue that Price is adhering to her campaign platform, but is also not "letting murderers go free," as has been a popular refrain.In fact, Price has charged about 60 people with murder cases in 2023, according to her supporters’ website.The ACLU of Northern California is against the recall as well.
