Oakland, CA – The Democratic Party of Alameda County has voted overwhelmingly to oppose the recall of District Attorney Pamela Price. Just seven months into her first term, Price is facing a recall effort backed by conservative special interests and individuals that supported her opponent in the general election.
“Alameda County voters picked Pamela Price to reform a system that is as unsafe as it is unjust,” said Cristine Soto DeBerry, Founder and Executive Director of the Prosecutor’s Alliance of California. “A recall of DA Pam Price will not enhance safety for Alameda County residents, just like the recall of DA Boudin failed to enhance safety in San Francisco. Selling recalls as a solution to crime is a hollow promise that puts politics before safety.”
On Wednesday night, 83% of Alameda County Democratic Party voting members opposed the recall. DA Price was elected on a reform platform to hold people accountable, support alternatives to incarceration, hold police accountable, and treat kids like kids. As the County’s first Black district attorney, DA Price has also prioritized rooting out systemic inequities that disproportionately impact citizens of color.
Residents are scared and fleeing Oakland. They say crime is out of hand. Progressive justice tactics are not working.
Crime Rate
Florida has a higher crime rate than many other states, with a significant number of violent crimes reported each year.
The state’s large population and high tourist volume make it a prime target for criminal activity, especially in urban areas.
Many residents feel unsafe and insecure, leading them to consider leaving the state for a safer environment.

THese people trip me out, is she under 30 or something? I mean, crime at MUCH MUCH higher in the 80s and 90s in Oakland than now. So what is her reference point?
Are you denying how they feel? That a mother is moving because she fears for her child or that the woman in the article isn’t seeing what she describes as much more violent crimes occurring? Even the NAACP is sounding the alarm. Does that “trip” you out?
I figured this was a black person (in the CNN article), and I guessed right.
Personally, I find it inspiring when black people in particular decide to get out of that hell-hole.
I find this fact to be absolutely hilarious Ron and Keith.
