Recall effort against California DA Pamela Price advances as paperwork is filed.
Recall Effort Launched Against Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price
Six months after her election, a recall effort is gaining momentum against Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price. On Tuesday, an organization filed the necessary paperwork, marking the beginning of the process.
Save Alameda for Everyone is leading the charge against the progressive district attorney. They have submitted 127 signatures to file a notice of intent to recall Price, who now has a limited time to respond. Once her response is received, the group can start collecting the required 90,000 legal signatures to bring the issue to a ballot.
Community Leaders and Activists Spearhead the Recall Movement
The recall effort is being spearheaded by SAFE (Save Alameda for Everyone), a coalition of community leaders, activists, and families of Alameda County homicide victims. They accuse Price of offering lenient plea deals in criminal cases, which they believe undermines justice.
In a letter issued in July, the Oakland NAACP declared a state of emergency, holding Price’s policing policies responsible for the city’s escalating crime rates. They emphasized that allowing criminal behavior to persist is neither compassionate nor progressive, as it infringes on the public’s right to safety.
In response, Price’s office expressed disappointment, stating that the organization was perpetuating a false narrative on a matter of great importance.
A Mother’s Plea for Justice
Lorie Mohs, the mother of Blake Mohs, a 26-year-old Home Depot security guard and aspiring police officer who was fatally shot in April, accuses Price of failing to properly charge her son’s case. Mohs claims that both police officers and district attorneys have reviewed the evidence and believe Price is deliberately choosing not to pursue appropriate charges.

Making History as the First Black District Attorney
In November, Price won the DA race against veteran prosecutor Terry Wiley, securing 53% of the vote. Her campaign promised to address the flaws within the criminal justice system. Price’s victory marked a historic moment as she became the first black person to hold the office.
