Atlanta’s women of color DAs are breaking barriers and redefining what leadership looks like in the justice system. From forging paths once closed to transforming how communities are seen and served, they’re making history and changing the conversation around power and possibility.

Watching this exchange between Kaitlan Collins and President Trump felt like DARVO in real time: Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender. Survivors asking for justice deserve transparency, not dismissal. We stand with survivors. #BelieveSurvivors #TransparencyNow #DARVO #JusticeForSurvivors

I was proud to join more than 300 former DOJ employees in signing this letter. More lawyers—especially former prosecutors—need to speak up. AUSAs nationwide are being pushed out for refusing to follow politically driven orders that undermine the criminal justice system.

BREAKING: More than 300 former federal prosecutors have come together to urge DOJ to follow decades of bipartisan practices of cooperation and allow MN state and local law enforcement to investigate the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Article: www.axios.com/2026/02/04/m... #Minnesota #DOJ

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. From that experience, he knows two things can be true at once: Most police officers do good work under difficult conditions AND unchecked authority erodes trust.

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. #MLKday

Norfolk just hit a historic low in homicides. As leaders like Commonwealth’s Attorney Ramin Fatehi know, real, sustained safety comes from community trust, coordinated responses, and shared responsibility. Full article here: https://bit.ly/4sHFmGr

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. Accountability isn’t anti-police. It’s pro-safety and pro-justice.

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.

Prosecutors and victim advocates deserve the resources, training, and community needed to show up fully for the people they serve. Your support helps us provide these resources. Please consider donating to support our critical work. prosecutorsalliance.org/donate

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.

Join us for our first Survivor Center training of 2026! This vital session will bring together survivors, advocates, and legal professionals to share resources, insights, and support for navigating the post-conviction journey. https://prosecutorsalliance.org/event/post-conviction-resource-centers/

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.

Healing after harm is hard enough. Survivors shouldn’t have to struggle to access support. 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.

We were proud to attend Act. Honor. Hope., an annual event hosted by the Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance lifting up the field and honoring people who have contributed to the work this year.

Thank you to the Family and Children’s Trust Fund of Virginia for investing in work that centers survivors and strengthens community safety. We’re proud to partner with organizations committed to healing, support, and long-term wellbeing.

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.

What if justice and healing aren’t separate but two sides of the same coin? Led by our Survivor Center Director, Robyn Sordelett, this training will dig into trauma-informed strategies for engaging survivors while honoring each survivor’s own definition of healing. RSVP: https://bit.ly/3XOB7dR

Restorative justice fosters connection, dignity, and real choice, leading to more satisfying outcomes and genuine healing. Every step toward this alternative path is a step toward restoring hope and autonomy for those impacted. #NationalRestorativeJusticeWeek

We brought survivors and prosecutors together to learn how the criminal legal system can do better in supporting the needs and healing of victims of crime. Survivors are too often spoken for. This discussion flipped the script. Survivors led the conversation. Prosecutors showed up to listen.

Tomorrow: discover how a data-driven approach to prosecution changed everything in Charleston County. The Ninth Circuit Solicitor’s Office, in partnership with Justice Innovation Lab, cut jail time, reduced recidivism, and saved over $400,000 in taxpayer dollars. https://bit.ly/3JTCW5U

DA Sherry Boston reminds us that being victim-centered doesn’t always look the same. Sometimes it means stepping back from prosecution and sometimes it means moving forward even when it’s hard. True justice meets people where they are, not where the system expects them to be.

In Charleston County, a new process led to faster resolutions, less jail time, reduced recidivism, and huge taxpayers savings. Find out how Justice Innovation Lab and the Ninth Circuit Solicitor’s Office turned evidence into impact: https://bit.ly/3JTCW5U

Survivors don’t need spokespeople. They need a seat at the table. Join us as we explore what it means to move beyond symbolic inclusion and actually center survivors in shaping the future of public safety. Register now! https://prosecutorsalliance.org/event/beyond-the-headlines/

When we center survivors, we transform justice. True reform means humanizing everyone involved, both survivors and those who’ve caused harm. Because healing, repair, and accountability are only possible when we move beyond “us vs. them.” #SurvivorCenteredJustice #JusticeReform #RestorativeJustice
