The ACLU on Northern California is the #3 donor (over $300k) for the effort to reject the recall of the progressive DA in SF. (sfethics.org list of actual donors, not guesswork).

Regardless of one's position on the recall, it seems an odd thing for the N. Cal ACLU to be putting over 5% of it's operating budget into this campaign.



I guess it depends on what stances the DA has on civil liberties issues (vs their likely replacements).


The SF DA refuses to prosecute pretty much any crime. Seriously.


Or perhaps whether the ACLU ever expects to bring a case against the City and County of SF.

You know - perhaps like protests vs the City, or on public streets near the Federal Court.
