District Attorneys are the most powerful local elected officials in our legal system, and Los Angeles County is home to “the nation’s largest local prosecutorial agency by far.”

The DA Accountability Coalition is leading a multi-year campaign focused on district attorney accountability. We are a coalition of local justice reform organizations, advocates, artists, organizers, and people who have been directly impacted by our criminal legal system.

We aim to promote greater accountability within the Los Angeles DA’s office by educating our community on the power and discretion of DAs, as well as the culture and policies within the DA’s office. We also strive to elevate the importance of district attorney elections for voters who support justice for all. Our work consists of public events, education, research, advocacy, and mobilization around elections for LA County DA, and holding the elected DA accountable.
