Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

In the mid 80’s he helped organize the campaign to kick out the three California judges, including Rose Bird, who supported the death penalty. His daughter Janette was murdered in 1984. The man convicted of killing her is on death row. He was convicted in two other trials of murdering two other young women as well.
