What a Difference A DA Makes is a public education campaign to educate voters about the power of district attorneys. On Primary Day (Tuesday, September 4th) we will host two phone bank shifts to make sure that voters in Suffolk and Middlesex counties get out to vote! It's time to use our voices, and our vote, to make our criminal legal system fairer for everyone.

Tuesday, September 4th
Shift #1: 11:00am - 2:00pm
Shift #2: 4:30pm - 7:30pm
211 Congress St, 4th Floor
Boston, MA 02110

If you can only participate for a portion of the shift, we still encourage you to come.

Hear from Rahsaan Hall, ACLU of Massachusetts' Racial Justice Program director and campaign manager for the What a Difference a DA Makes campaign, about the important role district attorneys play in determining the fairness and effectiveness of our criminal legal system and how, as voters, we can hold them accountable.

This event is free and open to the public. All are welcome.

If you have additional questions, please contact btugbiyele@gmail.com.

Court watching is a way to hold your district attorneys (DAs) accountable for the decisions they make in the courtroom. By attending court hearings and documenting what happens, you will gain a better understanding of how the decisions DAs make every day impact members of our communities. It also helps us push for changes in the policies and practices that lead to major racial disparities, excessive punishments, and over-incarceration.

Attend this training to learn the basics of court watching, including how the Massachusetts criminal courts work and what to look for while you’re in the courtroom.

These trainings are free and open to the public. All are welcome.
