D.A. Vance’s Written Testimony before City Council Public Safety, Finance, and Justice System Committees FY 2021 Budget & Oversight Hearings 
This is not the testimony I had prepared to deliver on March 19, nor could I have foreseen that any of us would be participating in this hearing in this manner. The coronavirus outbreak has upended our lives and the fabric of our society in ways that we are still grieving and struggling to comprehend.
D.A. Vance’s Written Testimony for City Council Committees on Criminal Justice and Justice System Oversight Hearing on “COVID-19 in City Jails and Juvenile Detention Centers”
Beyond looking at the individuals who were incarcerated prior to the virus hitting, I believe that COVID-19 demands that prosecutors think differently about pre-trial detention requests at the outset. What we are experiencing is extraordinary, and extraordinary times call for us all to be flexible, while still guided by our foundational principles of promoting safety and justice.
D.A. Vance: Harvey Weinstein Convicted at Trial
“Dawn Dunning, Miriam Haley, Jessica Mann, Annabella Sciorra, Tarale Wulff, Lauren Young. Meghan Hast, Joan Illuzzi. These are the eight women who changed the course of history in the fight against sexual violence. These are eight women who pulled our justice system into the 21st century by declaring that rape is rape, and sexual assault is sexual assault, no matter what. Rape is rape, whether it’s committed by a stranger in a dark alley or by an intimate partner in a relationship. It’s rape, whether it’s committed by an indigent person or a man of immense power, prestige, and privilege. Rape is rape whether the survivor reports it within the next hour, within a year, or never at all. It’s rape, despite the complicated dynamics of power and consent after an assault. It’s rape even if there is no physical evidence. Even if it happened a long time ago."

D.A. Vance Delivers Remarks to Boys’ Club of New York Women’s Board
"Boys’ Club is also one of our most active partners on the East Harlem Youth Opportunity Hub, which has served hundreds since its 2017 launch. Our Criminal Justice Investment Initiative funded the East Harlem hub and four other hubs dedicated to enhancing positive outcomes for our young people."
Written Testimony for the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary on Smartphone Encryption and Public Safety

D.A. Vance called upon cities across America divesting from police to prioritize direct reinvestment in communities of color as a key component of antiracist criminal justice reform. Read the op-ed ⏬ https://t.co/p8vM13jr3D
This is a tremendous victory for our nation’s system of justice and its founding principle that no one – not even a president – is above the law. https://t.co/jVm15aph7s
D.A. Vance joined @bcuza on @InsideCityHall to discuss the recent rise in gun violence across NYC. “Crime has been going up since 2018,” he said. “This was before there were any reforms around bail or there was a release from Rikers Island.” https://t.co/8I2F74tp2Y
