Our Revolution fought hard to support my successful run for district attorney in San Francisco, and have stood by me as I’ve started the vital work of transforming our criminal justice system.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, I took action to reduce the jail population by 40% to prevent an outbreak in a place where following social distancing recommendations is impossible with full occupancy.
My 75-year-old father is currently in prison in New York State, and I continue to fear for him and other vulnerable incarcerated people. That’s why it’s so important that Our Revolution has the resources they need to elect more district attorneys like me who will fight for criminal justice reform.
Donate here to help Our Revolution elect a wave of progressive district attorneys, city councilors, county commissioners, and other officials who will stand up to the prison industrial complex and demand change!

Our Revolution is carrying out Bernie’s vision that change happens from the bottom up, not from top-down. In San Francisco and other cities across American, they are building progressive powerhouses and mobilizing members to do the essential grassroots activism necessary to win elections.
As District Attorney, I have been supported by and listened to grassroots activists, and have done everything in my power to address their concerns.
I have been guided by the idea that public safety begins with ending harmful mass incarceration and breaking cycles of recidivism by focusing on rehabilitation.
To make this a reality, I have ended cash bail, a backward system that unfairly penalizes the poor, and I continue to do everything in my power to stop the prosecutorial racial disparities that over-criminalize young people of color.
San Franciscans, and Americans everywhere, will benefit from an enforcement policy that targets the truly violent and destructive crime that threatens our communities — not from a policy that wastes time and resources on prosecuting low-level, victimless offenses.
Our Revolution is fighting for criminal justice reform all over the country. Donate here to help them elect more district attorneys like me!
In solidarity,
Chesa Boudin
District Attorney, San Francisco
