Anyone can experience police violence.
Join us to prevent Loved Ones from being harmed or killed
by educating the public and changing laws and policies.
Oregon DA for the People
Pacific Northwest Family Circle is a proud partner in the Oregon DA for the People Coalition. A County’s District Attorney is the most powerful position in the local criminal legal system. Voters decide who has that power and what values drive their decisions. The Oregon DA for the People platform sends a message to DA candidates that, if elected, they must act on the values that will result in a just and fair local criminal legal system.
Visit the Oregon DA for the People website to:
- Read the demands, developed under the leadership of people most impacted by the criminal legal system
- Endorse the platform as an individual or organization
