D.A. VANCE TO ANNOUNCE RESULTS OF $38 MILLION RAPE KIT TESTING INVESTMENT ALONGSIDE SURVIVORS, ADVOCATES, OFFICIALS
More: The D.A.’s Office is convening representatives from jurisdictions across the country who tested more than 55,000 backlogged rape kits over the course of the D.A.’s $38 million initiative.
The day begins with a press conference to announce results of the program thus far, hear from survivors whose kits were tested, and call for legislative action and accountability to prevent future backlogs.
“Prosecutors across the United States applaud the House of Representatives for passing the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019. A bipartisan majority of the House has acted. We call on members of the Senate to show the same courage and leadership.”

This is encouraging. For decades, people of color have been disproportionately impacted by senseless marijuana policies. We need to actively work to right these wrongs and put an end to the collateral consequences that too many people still experience.
