Victims rights advocates on Saturday officially kicked off their recall campaign against newly elected Los Angeles County Dist. George Gascón, who has vowed sweeping criminal justice reforms to the nation’s largest prosecutor’s office. Representatives for the Recall George Gascón campaign include victims’ rights advocates, former law enforcement officials and current and former prosecutors, including former L.A. County Dist. “Quite honestly it was a gut punch,” said Tania Owen, who is listed as an honorary chairwoman for the recall campaign. Nonetheless, all survivors agree that they need more support, and that’s why I’m focused on expanding our ability to provide clinical and trauma-informed care for victims,” Gascón said.
