I have long fought for victims of domestic violence and I wanted to make sure you saw this recent NBC Bay Area news story about my legislation demanding transparency on the failure to prosecute felony domestic violence cases in San Francisco.

You must watch this.  We received data directly from the San Francisco Police Department that clearly shows that the District Attorney’s office isn’t filing cases involving domestic violence, and even when cases are filed, the DA often reduces charges or even drops them all together.  We demand to know the truth about what is happening and why. 

"If he thinks lack of prosecution is the answer, I'd like to know why," said Stefani. "I think it’s incompetence - the fact that these cases are being brought to him and not charged and no interventions made."

Make sure you check out the story on NBC Bay Area’s website to learn more about my attempts to demand transparency out of the District Attorney’s office.

Thank you for your support as I continue to shine a light on the public safety issues that San Francisco is facing today. I won’t stop advocating for domestic violence victims and all victims of crime.

Warm regards, 

Catherine
