San Francisco, CA – The Young Women’s Freedom Center, San Francisco Young Democrats, and the Coleman Advocates on Monday along with elected Public Defender Mano Raju, continued to push back against appointed DA Brooke Jenkins’ policy that allows youth to be tried as adults.
Lucero Herrera of the Young Women’s Freedom Center said, “I was someone who was charged as an adult at the age of 17. I went through the adult system and didn’t get out until I was 22. None of my needs were addressed. Not my trauma. Not me living in poverty.”
