Public letter from over 100+ SF residents, as support continues to grow<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Francisco\u2014<\/strong>On Wednesday March 31st, over 100 San Franciscans are releasing a letter <\/a>in support of District Attorney Chesa Boudin\u2019s vision to improve public safety and reform the justice system.

The letter is being organized by a newly formed group, SF Safe for All, and comes as a campaign has been started by conservative and Republican leaders who are organizing big dollars to recall DA Boudin and override the democratic will of the San Francisco voters who elected him in 2019. These San Franciscans aim to fight the fear-mongering and big money campaign with grassroots support for DA Boudin\u2019s reform-minded policies. From the start, DA Boudin has faced incredibly vicious attacks–led by the reactionary and conservative SF Police Officers Association and Republican forces—who are threatened by the change that he represents.

\u201cAs we can see with the recall efforts led by Republicans against Gov. Newsom, these types of attacks are not new. However they are very destructive because they spread misinformation, waste taxpayers\u2019 money, and attempt to override a democratic election where the majority of voters elected Chesa Boudin as District Attorney. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve signed onto this letter and I intend to oppose the recall efforts,\u201d says Laura Goldin, a homeowner who has lived for 36 years in the Richmond District.

The letter indicates facts to combat myths that have been circulating and highlight positive changes that happened since Boudin took office. These include:
