Alameda County DA Pamela Price rallies against recall she says 'weaponizes people's grief and pain'

Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price and about 100 supporters rallied Sunday against the recall effort against her, calling it a billionaire-funded attempt to halt much-needed criminal justice reforms.

“We are in the midst of a resistance that is more loud than massive,” Price said as she stood in front of her supporters on the steps in front of the Alameda County Superior Courthouse in Oakland. The recall campaign, she said, “weaponizes people’s grief and pain,” and seeks to silence the voice of supporters of criminal justice reform.

Some of the supporters who attended the rally held signs that read, “We won’t go back” and “Defend our democracy.”

The Nov. 5, recall attempt marks the first time county voters will decide whether to remove a district attorney from office.
