New Orleans has led the world in mass incarceration, but now we can lead the world in justice reformation.
The People’s DA Coalition represents more than thirty organizations of formerly incarcerated residents, crime survivors, people who were wrongfully convicted, and families with incarcerated loved ones, focused on criminal justice reform in our city and state.
This November, the people of New Orleans have an opportunity to create a new vision for the Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office. We demand a reform Prosecutor who embraces fairer, safer, more effective approaches to criminal justice.
A plan for accountability.
Policy Platform
A Roadmap to Reform
Our mission is to create a District Attorney’s office that is ethical, compassionate and accountable to all of its constituents; a DA’s office that is committed to ending the era of mass incarceration that has so long plagued the New Orleans community.
The people of New Orleans deserve a district attorney that will champion criminal justice reform and work to serve the community as whole. As a coalition, we are united on the following policy platform, and we will hold the next DA accountable to its demands. Read the platform below.
