Golden Gate 26 – Motion To Disqualify The San Francisco District Attorney’s Office

The CPLL’s Rachel Lederman, along with other lawyers representing the Golden Gate 26, filed a motion in San Francisco’s superior court, demanding that the court disqualify District Attorney Brooke Jenkins and her entire office, based on indications of her bias against Palestinian people, their advocates and supporters.

26 Bay Area residents, known as the Golden Gate 26, were arrested during an April 15 ceasefire protest on the Golden Gate Bridge to demand an end to the US-backed genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and an immediate arms embargo against the Israeli government. Eight of the protestors are charged with felony conspiracy, 18 with misdemeanor conspiracy, and all 26 are facing 38 counts of false imprisonment, as well as trespassing to interfere with a business, obstructing a thoroughfare, and related charges.
