The PJLC and Allies Meet with CA DOJ to Discuss OCDA Todd Spitzer’s Racism.

Following a damning report on racism in the office of the Orange County District Attorney published by the ACLU of Southern California, and a series of news articles on racist statements by OCDA Todd Spitzer, a group of advocates and organizations from across Orange County met last week with officials from the California Department of Justice to give their firsthand accounts of the DA’s racist practices. The PJLC described how the OCDA is working to prevent the implementation of the California Racial Justice Act and continues to prosecute gang injunctions only against people of color while giving Orange County’s many racist white gangs a free pass.

Advocates called on the DOJ to investigate Todd Spitzer and his office for his refusal to break from his office’s history of racism.
