[1]Voting While Black

Dear John,

Please join us in congratulating Shameca Collins on her win in the
District Attorney primary in Mississippi's 6th District!

First, we want to say thank you to everyone who got out and voted for
Shameca Collins, and spread the word about the importance of showing up in
this election.

Collins is committed to changing things for the people in her district
because they are her own people. As a native of Natchez, she's seen the
ways mass incarceration has devastated her community. But because of
people like you, she now has the opportunity to create a new future, and
to change the meaning of "criminal justice" in Mississippi's 6th District,
including:

✅ Offering alternatives for non-violent offenders to keep people out of
jails, and provide opportunities for people to make amends for their
mistakes

✅ Providing more resources for people suffering from addiction to heal,
instead of throwing them behind bars

✅ Keeping a list of police officers and sheriffs not trustworthy enough to
testify, to reduce the influence of corrupt police on convictions

There’s still work to do to make sure Shameca is elected in the November
5th general election. And this win is an important piece of our ongoing
work with other organizations, advocates and everyday people to elect
prosecutors who care about Black and brown people and to hold these
officials accountable to the communities they serve. 

We’re going to continue to take on elections like this to elect candidates
who are accountable to Black communities through 2019 and beyond.
