This weekend, District Attorneys from all over the country are coming together for a summit in the same city where Philando Castile was killed. And Black organizers and activists in the Black Freedom Cohort coalition are coming together for the Mobilization and Counter-Conference for Safety and Liberation--to hold them accountable to seeking justice over convictions. Because fueling mass incarceration doesn’t keep our communities safer.

The National District Attorney Association plays a major role in shaping the prosecutorial practices that DA offices across the country adhere to--and this upcoming summit is a big moment to influence the message that prosecutors in attendance are hearing. That’s why we’re joining our friends at [insert org names here] to deliver 5 critical demands to them in person. Will you add your name?

Black Freedom Cohort Coalition members include:
