something deeply concerning is happening in Sonoma County something that strikes at the heart of public trust, accountability, and the integrity of our justice system
We stand by Christina Urrutia because Christina Urrutia, is a respected rescue founder and community advocate, and is being prosecuted for crimes she did not commit. And because the actions taken against her contradict the very principles the Sonoma County District Attorney’s Office has publicly declared in other cases.
The DA has said:
- “Strong beliefs do not excuse fabricated conclusions.”
- “No one is above the law.”
- “The court system exists to uphold justice – not to serve as a stage for self‑promotion or lawless behavior.”
We agree with every one of those statements.
But today, we must ask: Why are these principles not being applied consistently?
Why are fabricated conclusions being used against Christina?
Why are local agencies being shielded from scrutiny?
Why is a community advocate being turned into a scapegoat to distract from institutional failures?
Christina’s work has exposed serious issues in local shelters and law‑enforcement practices. Instead of investigating those issues, the system appears to be punishing the person who brought them to light.
This is not justice.
This is retaliation.
And it sends a chilling message to every advocate, whistleblower, and community member who dares to speak the truth.
We are calling on the Sonoma County District Attorney’s Office to:
- Conduct a fair, evidence‑based review of the charges
- Apply its own stated standards consistently
- Investigate institutional misconduct rather than punishing those who expose it
- Restore public trust by demonstrating transparency and integrity
Christina has stood up for the vulnerable.
Now the community stands up for her.
We will not allow truth‑tellers to be targeted.
We will not allow scapegoats to be created.
And we will not allow the justice system to be used as a shield for institutional wrongdoing.
Thank you.
