The actual overall prosecution rate for domestic violence cases is 30.72%. In 2021, the rate was 36.71%; in 2022, it\u2019s been 47.02%. By comparison, from 2011 – to 2019, the filing rate was 32.49%. (Source: DA Data Dashboard)<\/p>\n\n\n\n LIE<\/strong>: \u201cA small business was forced to close because Chesa Boudin wouldn\u2019t prosecute drug dealers.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n FACT:<\/strong> That small business closed in September 2019 – before Boudin was elected, let alone sworn in. In response to a reporter\u2019s inquiry, \u201cNeither Safer SF nor Young disputed that Mr. Smith’s closed before Boudin took office, nor did they directly respond to characterizations that the ad is misleading.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n LIE:<\/strong> \u201cHe hasn’t prosecuted a single drug dealer, despite drug overdoses causing two times as many deaths as COVID-19.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n FACT:<\/strong> Under Boudin, the SF District Attorney\u2019s Office has prosecuted over 1,100 narcotics cases, and has secured hundreds of convictions. (Source: SFDA Narcotics Fact Sheet)<\/p>\n\n\n\n LIE:<\/strong> \u201cAlmost half of San Francisco\u2019s prosecutors have resigned\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n FACT:<\/strong> Turnover in the office was the same in 2020 and 2021 under Boudin as in 2018 and 2019 under Gascon. Boudin has also recruited and hired talented attorneys from across the state including experts in their field and former prosecutors from San Francisco and other counties. (Source: SF HR Department)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s the bottom line: The recall effort was about Chesa\u2019s record, and they lied about San Francisco. Worse yet, they spent MILLIONS of dollars spreading these lies. Chesa Boudin is proud of his record dramatically expanding the number of Chinese and Asian staff in his office, increasing language access with a first-in-the-state policy, to require court-certified interpreters be requested for any victim who wants to watch their case move through the court system, and he\u2019s proud of his record prosecuting and holding people accountable who victimize Asian elders.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n All are welcomed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Host: Mothers On The March<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Saturday, August 6<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Anniversary of Hiroshima<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 3.

We will be marching to Chevron to send a message that we REFUSE another 120 years of violence on our bodies, our communities, our air. In the aftermath of the fire, thousands of people mobilized to City Hall, demanding that our politicians and air regulators take real action to hold Chevron accountable and protect the health and safety of workers and communities. Investigators with Cal\/OSHA and the U.S. Chemical Safety Board found that Chevron had ignored a decade of warnings about severe corrosion in the pipe that caused the refinery fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Host: Richmond Our Power Coalition<\/p>\n\n\n\n Info: End Climate Chaos: 10th Anniversary of Richmond Explosion : Indybay<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 5.

On August 6, 2012, a massive fire tore through the Chevron Richmond refinery, sending a huge plume of black smoke over West Contra Costa County. The fire blanketed neighborhoods in black smoke and the sky turned dark as the smoke blocked out the sun. 15,000 residents sought medical treatment, and many report developing long-term respiratory issues as a result.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
