County Attorneys (also known as District Attorneys) are some of the most powerful people in our criminal justice system. They decide who gets criminal charges filed against them, the severity of those charges, or if charges get filed at all. In this series, we dive into the roles County Attorneys play in mass incarceration, bail practices, and policing. Power to the Podcast, brought to you by the ACLU of Minnesota, takes a deeper look into this and other civil liberties you care about and empowers you to take action. Learn more at www.aclu-mn.org.

Krasner immediately implemented policies intended to reduce mass incarcerations.  In this 4th and final part of our series, Nicholas Pressley from the ACLU of Pennsylvania discusses his experiences leading the Vote Smart Justice campaign during the 2017 district attorney election in Philadelphia.
