The District Attorney’s Office extends heartfelt thanks to Mayor Andy Su, Vice Mayor Bernice Tingle, and Council Members Ronna Green, Matt Disko, and especially Dan Harrison for his efforts in coordinating the proclamation. Special recognition goes to Celeste McFadden, who serves on the Family Justice Center Foundation’s board, for her ongoing dedication to this important cause.
