We sent out our People of the State of NY vs. Mass Incarceration platform on Monday morning to all the candidates running in Brooklyn District Attorney race. So far, we have received responses from two candidates. We look forward to hearing from the remaining candidates!

Candidate Mark Fliedner responded to our platform, and also outlined how he intends to screen cases in the first 36 hours from arrest, and 36 days from arraignment. Check out his response to our platform and policy guidance.

Candidate Patricia Gatting also provided a short response via a direct message to our Twitter account.
