177: The Public Defender Policy Team Fighting Back Against San Francisco's Pro-Policing Agenda w/Angela Chan

Today's guest brings a decade plus of experience in criminal justice policy reform to the San Francisco Public Defender Office. Hunter spoke with Angela Chan, Chief of Confront and Advocate, the policy branch of the SF Public Defender Office. In most places, District Attorneys operate by themselves in the policy world, and that is part of the reason that our society is awash with their policy preferences. In San Francisco however, Brooke Jenkins must compete with the powerful voice of Angela, Mano, and the rest of the policy centric branches of the San Francisco Public Defender.     Guests: Angela Chan, Chief of Confront and Advocate, San Francisco Public Defender's Office     Resources: SF Public Defender Office Hires Angela Chan https://sfpublicdefender.org/news/2022/02/san-francisco-public-defender-announces-the-hiring-of-angela-chan-long-time-immigrant-advocate-for-the-asian-law-caucus/ SF Public Defender Office https://sfpublicdefender.org/ Brooke Jenkins Blames Judges for Crisis https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/jenkins-blames-judges-for-fueling-sf-drug-crisis-18279532.php SF Public Defender Twitter https://twitter.com/sfdefender?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor Brooke Jenkins Misconduct https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/brooke-jenkins-misconduct-18338499.php     Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 [email protected]  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN
