Kassandra Frederique It has been quite the year. 2020 was defined by its novel challenges and escalating uncertainty, but our movement stayed the course, exceeded our own expectations, and broke new ground. I cannot help but look back on DPA’s work this year with appreciation and affirmation that we were as ready as possible to meet this moment. Here are a few of the monumental accomplishments we fought for, along with our members and allies: JANUARY New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed legislation mandating comprehensive disclosure and transparency requirements for the system of civil asset forfeiture. DPA has long-played a leading role in forfeiture reform – calling for abolishing civil forfeiture entirely and supporting efforts to reform the practice.
