We feel it’s important to respond strongly with a message of accountability for elected officials like Judge Persky who do not take sex crimes and violence against women seriously, many eyes around the country are going to be on Santa Clara County as a model for how to respond to bias against women in the legal system.

What we need to do is replace Judge Persky with a judge who understands sexual violence against young women and wants to keep them safe on college campuses.
