Wren Collective, a group you should know

Over the last few years, we have seen an array of (usually Soros-funded) prosecutors and judges who are so reform-minded that they kick violent criminals loose seemingly for random reasons, don’t prosecute them, file lesser charges than circumstances might indicate – when I was a kid, the phrase “crime doesn’t pay” was an axiom Now, we all knew that successful crime paid pretty well – but we didn’t usually have to wonder whether the law itself was in on it, because while criminals did crime, the law made them do time. These newer folks like San Francisco’s Chesa Boudin, LA’s George Gascon, Jose Garza of Austin – their policies are different than the old days – and funnily enough, they all sound alike.

There’s a reason.

Meet Wren Collective.

The Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF), a pro-police nonprofit based out of Virginia, is publishing a report Tuesday alleging that a liberal group focused on criminal justice reform called the Wren Collective has helped guide and shape the offices of at least 40 progressive prosecutors across 22 states on their “policies, public communications, and legal decisions,” according to the report exclusively obtained by Fox Digital titled, “Outsourcing Justice.”

The report outlines the influence — both direct and indirect — that the Wren Collective has allegedly had in both the campaigns and subsequent policy priorities for certain district attorneys, including at least 40, whom the report alleges held cozy relationships with the group, such as joining weekly meetings to talk communication strategy, heeding advice on specific policy issues or even signing a non-disclosure agreement over a DA’s professional relationship with the group.

The Wren Collective is a for-profit organization founded in 2020 by Jessica Brand, a Texas-based attorney who serves as the group’s executive director. Its aim is to “replace ineffective and often disingenuous solutions to crime and safety with solutions that support victims,” according to the website, and is bolstered by a team of policy and legal experts who “design, promote, and defend policies and practices grounded in evidence and compassion.”

Victims – who doesn’t support helping them? Better solutions… let’s hear more.

The LELDF report found that since 2015, there have been roughly 100 progressive district attorneys elected to office across the country, with Wren Collective staffers allegedly “embedded” in at least 40 of the offices, based on documents researchers compiled via Freedom of Information Act requests and other public documents showing a cozy relationship between the group and liberal prosecutors.

An email sent in June 2020 by a Wren Collective attorney to Multnomah County (Portland) DA-elect Mike Schmidt and his policy advisor included two justice-related model policies on how to abolish bail and reduce jail populations that the group “wrote for Virginia commonwealth attorneys,” as well as a lengthy list of examples of how the group could help the incoming DA.  Fox News

The entire report is embedded in the article. Nothing clandestine in either the report or Wren – they say their work has been public knowledge for years.  Solutions like ways to reduce incarcerated populations, like not prosecuting drug offenders, raising the felony threshold far higher so most crimes are misdemeanors.

And oddly enough, the name Soros appears. Fancy that.
