John,

Let’s get one thing straight. Michael Bloomberg uplifted discriminatory and racist policing policies during his time as mayor.

Policies like Stop & Frisk disproportionately targeted black and brown boys, many teenagers and young adults.

And last week on the debate stage in Nevada, he tried to rewrite history by saying he reduced the number of stops during the final years of his endless tenure.

He lied.

The truth is the practice was halted only when Federal District Judge Shira Scheindlin ruled it unconstitutional in a lawsuit brought against the city by victims of the cruel policy. In fact, Michael Bloomberg pushed and expanded the racist Stop & Frisk policy as mayor.

Prosecutors and judges are the first line of defense for the targets of discriminatory policing. Prosecutors and the District Attorneys who oversee them decide who to charge and what to charge.

We need more leaders in the criminal justice system who will stand up to unjust policing, and that’s why Real Justice works to get more reform-driven legal leaders elected.

Will you stand with our mission to elect more reform-minded prosecutors with a contribution today?

Reform-minded prosecutors like Kim Foxx in Cook County, IL understand the racial disparities in the criminal justice system and will work to undo the harm mass incarceration and unchecked policing has done to communities of color. We also have a real shot at electing a progressive DA in Los Angeles, California and transforming the largest jail system in the United States.

But we can’t do this work alone. We need you to ensure that we have the grassroots support needed to win elections and continue bringing reform to communities across the country.

Your gift today will directly support the work Real Justice PAC does to elect real reformers like Kim Foxx in Chicago and George Gascón in Los Angeles.

We can end discriminatory policies like Stop & Frisk around the country, but only if we work together.

Let’s do this!
Team Real Justice
