Just talked with two black men collecting signatures for the @chesaboudin recall. I demurred; told them criminal justice reform was important and they might want to rethink. Man apologized and said he was getting paid by the signature.
This is in incredibly problematic.

Replying to @phillip_dupree @chesaboudin
I’ve had the same experience. A young Black man asked me why I didn’t support the recall after I told him I supported Chesa, I told him, and he said “Damn, yeah that’s what I thought.” and told me he was getting paid by the signature.
