Join us on Sunday, August 23rd, from 10:00-11:00 a.m. for a special Summer Rector’s Forum as we welcome the candidates for LA District Attorney: incumbent Los Angeles DA Jackie Lacey and former San Francisco DA George Gascón. Join via Zoom at https://zoom.us/j/817796514.
Jackie Lacey is the first woman and first African-American to serve as Los Angeles County District Attorney since the office was established in 1850. A lifelong Democrat, she has spent most of her professional life as a prosecutor, manager and executive in the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. As chair of the Criminal Justice Mental Health Project for Los Angeles County, District Attorney Lacey leads a multidisciplinary working group devoted to diverting people who are mentally ill out of the criminal justice system for nonviolent offenses.
“Here in Los Angeles, we have the single most important District Attorney race in the country,” All Saints Rector Mike Kinman said. “Particularly today, when the role and conduct of law enforcement is at the forefront of our local and national consciousness, it is crucial we elect a DA for Los Angeles who shares our values of radical inclusion and courageous justice. We look forward to DA Lacey and former San Francisco DA Gascón answering our questions and those from the audience so we can cast the most informed votes possible.”
Former District Attorney for the City & County of San Francisco, and former Assistant Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, George Gascón is running for District Attorney to modernize LA’s criminal justice system. He has spent his life working to make sure our justice system works for everyone, not just the wealthy & well-connected.
The Forum will include a panel discussion with Prosecutor and All Saints Senior Warden Juan Mejia, Civil Rights Activist Patricia Coulter, Deputy Public Defender Elizabeth Lashley-Haynes and All Saints Rector Mike Kinman. All are welcome!
Sunday, August 23 | 10:00 – 11:00 a.m.
