Green Sunday – “Protect the Win” with Pamela Price, Alameda County District Attorney

. A vlog by the YouTube channel named in the video’s upper left corner and serves as the original blog post for this content.

An attack on our progressive District Attorney Pamela Price is being mounted that mirrors the attack on San Francisco’s progressive DA Chesa Boudin. This appears to be part of a coordinated national attack on prosecutorial reform funded by the same corporate and pro-police deep-pocket interests that have used media blitzes to attack protestors in Black Lives Matter, to attack protestors of Cop City in Atlanta, to attack prison and police reform nationwide, and to promote the militarization of police. Their use of fear-mongering incentivizes DAs to over-charge for career advancement and is not only cruel and discriminatory, but has created a costly prison system that takes money away from our schools, our parks, and our pay checks. Alameda County voted to reform this unjust system of over-charging by DAs by electing Pamela Price, and entrenched interests of the prison industrial complex are trying to overturn that vote. The narrative put forward by those supporting the recall is that DA Price is encouraging the crime wave that we have been experiencing by abandoning the practice of enhanced charges and onerous sentencing. But if heavy-handed policing and harsh sentencing were effective policies, we would not have the current crisis, because that is what our police and prosecutors have been doing for over three decades. This recall effort will further divide the public and damage what little credibility local government has left, and is a major assault on both democracy and progressive politics. District Attorney Pamela Price talks about “Protecting the Win”, and how we can help oppose the recall attempt. This past January, Pamela Price became the first Black female District Attorney in the history of Alameda County, after winning the November, 2022 election. She survived the Ohio foster care and juvenile justice systems to graduate from Yale College and UC Berkeley School of Law. Pamela started her professional legal career as a criminal defense attorney at the Bayview Hunters Point Community Defender’s office in San Francisco. Following years of training working for small firms, Pamela started her own firm in 1991. Over the next 30 years, she represented everyday people in state and federal courts, and became a nationally recognized civil rights attorney. Specializing in employment litigation, her clients included nurses, doctors, electricians, oil workers, teachers, office workers, police officers and correctional officers from all walks of life. Her particular passion is suing the California Department of Corrections on behalf of employees, particularly women subjected to sexual harassment. Pamela is one of the founding members of the famed Bay Area choir, Vukani Muwethu, which has been singing South African freedom songs since 1986. In 2007, Pamela was appointed to serve as the Interim Executive Director of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights in San Francisco. She later served two terms as the Co-Chair of the Board of Directors, and has been a member of the Lawyers Committee since 2006. In 2017, Pamela was honored as the Woman of the Year for Assembly District 18, for her lifetime of social justice advocacy and service to the people of Alameda County.

This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the video is “liked” by Zennie62 YouTube, then it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Zennie62Blog.com site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
