Activists in Los Angeles announced the launch of a recall campaign targeting District Attorney George Gascón, whom they have accused of “setting violent habitual criminals loose into our neighborhoods” in the days since he took office.

The launch event, billed as a “Victim’s Vigil,” was held downtown at the Hall of Justice, and organizers said roughly 100 people attended, according to the Los Angeles Times.
