John, our
movement won in San Francisco by electing Chesa Boudin, and now we have
the chance to continue our momentum:
Next we’re setting our sights extremely high – winning the most important
district attorney seat there is.
Los Angeles County has the largest jail system in the world. It’s the
county with the most urgent need for reform and the most potential to
impact justice reform across the nation.
That’s why we’re excited to announce that Real Justice is supporting both
George Gascón and Rachel Rossi to be the next DA of Los Angeles. We're
proudly choosing to endorse both candidates because we need all hands on
deck to get DA Jackie Lacey out of office.

The current DA, Jackie Lacey, fueled the mass incarceration machine,
opposed key reforms (ending cash bail, legalizing marijuana, repealing the
death penalty), and failed to hold police accountable for brutalizing
communities.
Under Lacey’s watch, Los Angeles sentenced more people to death than any
other county in the country – all people of color.
Los Angeles is my home. We have built a movement here to Reform LA Jails,
and we’ve already made history. I know it’s possible to make sure no new
jails are built, that no one with mental illness is brutally put behind
bars, and that we invest in community-based care. But electing a new DA is
a critical step.
The district attorney is the most important elected position to facilitate
our new vision for care, dignity, and healing – and to stop harm, neglect,
and criminalization in our jails.
Gascón is clear that he is going to be responsive to the needs of people
with mental illness in this county and he is clear that he is going to
hold law enforcement accountable. Rachel Rossi has been a clarifying voice
in her candidacy. She has been unapologetic in taking on DA Lacey in her
policies but also publicly. I can’t wait to finally elect a District
Attorney that cares for the most vulnerable.

you make a contribution right now to help us transform the largest jail
system in the world?
We can do this. Here we go y’all!!!
