LA County DA Gascón cuts ties with DA group, complains board is White, as association rips ‘publicity stunt’
Fox News
Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón has cut ties with the California District Attorneys Association, saying the group’s all-White board indicates the group has failed to keep pace with changing times.
"The absence of a single person of color on CDAA’s 17-member board is blinding," Gascón wrote Tuesday, in a letter to the group’s president. "This is the leadership that sets the direction for an organization of elected prosecutors, all of whom disproportionately prosecute communities of color at a time when the nation is facing a reckoning over systemic racisim, and in a state with a plurality of minorities no less," Gascón continued.More Related News
