PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The NAACP, Berkshire County Branch, the League of Women Voters of Central Berkshire County, League of Women Voters of Williamstown, and the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts  will host the forum "What a Difference A DA Makes" at their next general meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 3, at 6 p.m. via Zoom. 

The forum is part of ACLUM's public education initiative in Massachusetts that seeks to highlight the key role that the commonwealth's district attorneys play in determining the effectiveness and fairness of the criminal legal system – and to inform and educate Massachusetts residents so they are more aware and engaged in their local district attorney elections.

Through public education campaigns like "Know Your Sheriff" and "What a Difference a DA Makes," ACLUM hopes to educate and empower community members in Massachusetts to demand safer communities and a more just criminal legal system.

After the presentation, those in attendance will be able to ask questions to the two candidates running for Berkshire County district attorney: incumbent Andrea Harrington and Tim Shugrue

This event is free and open to all but attendees must register via Zoom for the link, which can be found here. For more information, visit naacpberkshires.org or, for the education campaign, aclum.org
