Accountability isn’t anti-police. It’s actually pro-police and pro-public safety.
Bobbi Bernstein spent three decades as a federal prosecutor. Her message is simple: when there are no consequences for misconduct, it harms communities AND the officers who are committed to doing the right thing.

Commonwealth's Attorney Bryan Porter has both worn the badge and carried the responsibility of a prosecutor.

Justice demands accountability, especially when public safety systems fail the people they’re meant to protect. More than 60 years after his call to end police brutality, Black and Brown communities are still disproportionately impacted by excessive force and bias in our legal system.

For decades, police misconduct was all too often dismissed or ignored.
Bobbi Bernstein watched that change in real time during her career as a federal civil rights prosecutor.

In 2025, we showed up where the system doesn’t.
Inside prisons. Alongside survivors. In community conversations that challenge power and demand accountability.
From hosting the only national conference focused on prosecuting police misconduct to centering survivor in shaping community safety.

Not every survivor wants to speak to the press – and there is nothing wrong with survivors who do or survivors who don’t.
Too often, media coverage prioritizes stories rooted in acute pain, anger, or punishment while overlooking experiences that reflect healing, complexity, or closure.

Speaking with our own Robyn Sordelett, Chesa Boudin breaks down how “selection bias” and the availability heuristic influence public opinion, often elevating the loudest or most sensationalized stories while sidelining others. Listening to survivors means making space for complexity, not shortcuts.

Prop 36 isn’t working.
Forced treatment without funding or services is just pushing more people into jail instead of care. L.A. County alone is projected to spend nearly $80M this year jailing people on Prop 36 charges—money that could house thousands or provide life-saving treatment.

Crime survivors spoke with Commonwealth’s Attorneys Steve Descano, Ramin Fatehi, and Parisa Dehghani-Tafti about their experiences with the legal system and how prosecutors' offices can better serve victims.

When investigators uncovered hazardous pesticides tossed into regular dumpsters across California, District Attorney Diana Becton's office stepped up by joining an effort to ensure the law was upheld.
The result: a $3.15M settlement, mandatory reforms, and stronger safeguards for the public.

When survivors speak, the system has a responsibility to stop talking and start listening.
During our survivor listening sessions, survivors sat with prosecutors and advocates for a rare, honest conversation about what safety actually feels like and how often our system fails to provide it.

Gratitude looks a little different for us.
It looks like victims of crime being centered in conversations that have historically ignored them.
It looks like prosecutors willing to hear uncomfortable truths.
It looks like advocates and partners pushing for better.
We’re deeply grateful.

A new California study is flipping that script by surveying survivors who have participated in parole hearings for someone who harmed them or their loved one. The study asks what support they needed, what they didn’t get, and what could prevent future harm.
