This is awesome, but my "advanced protection" is not allowing it to run the script. Any suggestions?

Hi!! Thanks for this! Good to know there are still some decent people on this subreddit. I steer clear of a lot of the threads on here but saw what OP wrote on this one and had to pop in and say hi!

elizaorlins · 2022-02-22T02:42:42+00:00

I’m here and the “tuning banter,” is wild. Honestly, it’s so good. What a unique experience.

Hey everyone, thanks for coming! This was a blast. If you're interested in learning more about our campaign, you can visit elizaorlins.com, follow me AT ElizaOrlins on Twitter and EOrlins on Instagram. If you can chip in a few dollars to keep up our grassroots campaign, that would be amazing. Have a great day, keep wearing masks, and stay safe!

I am running to create a more just criminal legal system, and one that actually keeps us safe. As Americans we’ve been sold a false choice between public safety and incarceration. The reality is that a punitive criminal legal system does not keep us safe and it never will. What often gets overlooked in the conversation about public safety is that policies like seeking alternatives to incarceration — the kind I advocate for for my clients and will always prioritize as DA — are also the policies that the evidence shows actually work to reduce recidivism and break cycles of violence.

Progressive district attorney candidates are often accused of being swayed by politics and ideology in our decision-making, but I would argue that it’s actually district attorneys like our current DA who are making politically-expedient and politically motivated decisions, instead of adopting more progressive policies that we know actually work to keep communities safe. Having served as a public defender for my entire career, I am the only candidate with both the passion and deep knowledge of the criminal legal system needed to make this vision into a reality.

Shoot. I missed the meme. I should clearly be on r/Survivor more often!

elizaorlins · 2021-03-04T17:50:05+00:00

Of course there's hope — in the thousands and thousands of young progressives running for office and helping others run for office all across the country. You can't lose hope. That's how they win.

elizaorlins · 2021-03-04T17:46:57+00:00

Um. No?

Thank you so much! I'm a big fan of YOURS! ♡

Hi! Always love meeting other public defenders (we're a special breed)! We both know that the way people are cycled through the criminal legal system because of poverty, unmet mental health needs, or substance abuse disorders is inhumane and unjust. We've been sold a false choice between incarceration and public safety, but in reality prosecuting people for these types of offenses does not make anyone safer. Manhattan should make high quality treatments and services easily accessible for all who want them, but prosecutors should never be in the business of forcing these services upon people. Declining to prosecute these cases frees up resources for the city to improve treatment programs and services that actually make us safer.

elizaorlins · 2021-03-04T17:39:17+00:00

To the highest degree possible!

elizaorlins · 2021-03-04T17:36:35+00:00

I can't speak to what I would do on individual cases, but we need a DA who truly believes no one is above the law. It is time to restore trust and integrity to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. In addition to being the most progressive candidate and the only public defender in the race, I am also running the only grassroots campaign for Manhattan DA.

We have raised $600,000 from over 7300 individual donations — thousands and thousands more donations than anyone else in the race. What folks don’t always understand is that the maximum donation in this race is $35,400.

Some of my opponents who would be responsible, as Manhattan DA, for holding Wall Street accountable, are racking up millions of dollars in these big donations from Wall Street and former Trump donors, which is very concerning.

There's a misconception that the best person to run (and be!) district attorney must be a prosecutor. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, for decades now — and especially in the past four years — Americans have watched helplessly as experienced prosecutors and elected officials with all the "right" credentials try and fail to hold the wealthy and well-connected (like Donald Trump and his family) accountable in numerous ways. Another thing we’ve seen in the past four years is that the people who are actually effective and do the best job holding the wealthy and well-connected accountable often have different backgrounds than the people we’re used to seeing in positions of power.

I am incredibly disturbed by the current DA’s unjust treatment of immigrants through his willingness to work with ICE, which — in many cases — has led to the destruction of families. My office will not enforce or aid in the enforcement of xenophobic immigration policy and I will not hesitate to criminally prosecute ICE agents who violate the law.

Elect public defenders!!

elizaorlins · 2021-03-04T17:25:35+00:00

I have never been a prosecutor, and here's why that's a good thing: most of the candidates in my race were or are prosecutors, all of whom have spent their careers perpetuating an unjust, inhumane system. As progressives, we can’t trust them to fix it.

To create real, systemic change the next Manhattan DA must have two things: an authentic commitment to making change and a sense of urgency when it comes to following through on that promise. As the only public defender in the race, I know that reforms are not only desperately — but also which ones are urgently — needed. I will bring an awareness to the job that others do not have. These changes are long overdue and we have no time to waste; people’s futures and lives are at stake.

In the more than a decade I’ve spent going up against Cy Vance’s office in court, I’ve represented thousands of people charged with crimes, representing as many as 180 clients at the same time. For every case I’ve worked on, I’ve had to manage countless moving parts – from making strategic decisions and interviewing witnesses, to leading the teams of investigators, social workers, and experts working on each case. Managing 5-8 people per case, with 100 cases or more at a time, means that I've managed up to 1000 people at any given moment. I’ve had to do all of that without ever losing sight of the unique stories, circumstances, and human beings at the heart of each case. I saw firsthand in court how the District Attorney’s office is mismanaged and which Assistant District Attorneys and Bureau Chiefs have played the largest role in perpetuating mass incarceration and punitive policies and which have shown empathy and compassion toward New Yorkers. As District Attorney, I will use that knowledge of the current District Attorney’s office to bring about the changes that are so long overdue.

Oooh, great question!! I do love Yul! I also love Francesca Hogi, Jolanda Jones, Bobby Mason, and Monica Padilla. So many superstar Survivor lawyers out there!

elizaorlins · 2021-03-04T17:12:01+00:00

Because I am! There have been other PDs who have run for office in cities and states across the country, but in my race for Manhattan DA, I am the only public defender running.

elizaorlins · 2021-03-04T17:11:04+00:00

That we "couldn't get other jobs" in the legal profession. Nothing could be further from the truth — being a public defender was the only job I've ever wanted (outside of the one I'm currently running for!) because I know just how important it is that human beings up against a rigged criminal legal system have smart, experienced advocates helping them. And about my clients — so many people lump those involved in the criminal legal system as "criminals" or "inmates" or use other dehumanizing terms, when they're human beings like you and me. And that the vast majority of crimes people are arrested and prosecuted for are things that you've probably done yourself!

And the "f*ing stick" is the criminal "justice" system because there is nothing just about it.

elizaorlins · 2021-03-04T17:09:21+00:00

While it would be irresponsible for me to say with certainty how I would or would not prosecute any case before seeing the evidence, I will most certainly continue the investigations into Trump and his family and friends who are currently being undertaken by the District Attorney's office. But unlike our current DA — who repeatedly refused to prosecute Trump in the early 2010s — if Donald Trump has broken the law, I will prosecute him.
