Prosecute or Resign Campaign
Demanding that DA Summer Stephan prosecute law enforcement officers who have brutalized and murdered community members for the last 25 years in San Diego County.
Campaign Demands & Overview
The Racial Justice Coalition of San Diego demands that District Attorney Summer Stephan prosecute law enforcement officers that have brutalized and murdered community members for the last 25 years and for law enforcement that is still engaged in abusive practices and specific incidents of police shootings and fatalities.
Quote From DA Summer Stephan
“I love jury trials; that is the best of our democracy, but our system is not set up for that. If somebody wants a jury trial we should give it to them, but in my experience it’s usually the defense who believes it’s in their best interest to plead guilty.”
Background & Historical Context
Summer Stephan has been a prosecutor since 1994. She served as Chief Deputy District Attorney from 2012 to 2017 and has served as San Diego County District Attorney since 2017.
There has been a significant lack of oversight of the police in San Diego County. It is time for the District Attorney to step up and take full responsibility for police abuse and illegal actions. We have seen decades of unprosecuted officer shootings, and families deserve full justice and accountability.
