SOLUTION
With our help, Color Of Change launched the first-ever prosecutor accountability hub: Winning Justice. We designed and facilitated the first-ever national prosecutor accountability convening. We drafted the memo that would ultimately become the organization’s demands. We hosted the first-ever national prosecutor accountability meeting along with other events.

Winning Justice has helped elect 30 new progressive prosecutors across the country. We also assisted in creating a directory of every prosecutor in the country, something that hadn’t existed prior. Now, anyone can research the prosecutor in their district, see their track record, and hold them accountable at election time.
