Cristine is the Founder and Executive Director of the Prosecutors Alliance. She spent a decade as the Chief of Staff to San Francisco District Attorneys George Gascón and Chesa Boudin. She previously served as San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom’s Deputy Chief of Staff and started her career as a public defender in Los Angeles County.

Artie Gonzales

Program Director

Artie joined the Prosecutors Alliance in 2023 to manage our prison visit program that takes prosecutors into prisons to dialogue with people serving long sentences. A juvenile tried as an adult at age 16, Artie spent 21 years of a life sentence in the California prison system. Released as a model prisoner by the Board of Parole Hearings in 2015, he dedicated himself to building a new life. Applying the same acumen and intelligence that helped him survive the inhumane conditions of our prison system, he has become a leader in his community, an advocate for legislative reforms, and a member of several social justice organizations.
