John,

There’s an important, upcoming election in Travis County (Austin), Texas. We need as many people as possible to get involved now.

The incumbent District Attorney, Margaret Moore, has doubled down on the failed war on drugs, withheld power from the community so she can personally determine whether to prosecute police shootings, and perpetuated cash bail. Moore has the police union in her corner – but with the power of people, we can replace her.

I’m excited to announce that Real Justice is supporting José Garza to be the next DA in Austin. Our plan is to donate an initial $5,000 to his campaign – but we need your help. Can you pitch in now?

The reason that I got involved in DA races in the first place is because one thing became clear: There is no elected position with more power to reform the justice system and hold police accountable. So if you’re angry at the mass incarceration machine – I need you to turn that into action. You can do that right now by donating to help elect José.

Texas is ground zero for mass incarceration. But it can also be ground zero for change. Right now in Travis County – that means Austin – Black people make up just 9% of the total population – but 25% of the jail population. And more than 70% of people in the county jail haven’t even been convicted of a crime. Many just can’t afford to pay bail.

José is a dedicated public servant and a former public defender. He’s fought for justice for communities of color, working families, and immigrant communities throughout his career. We can count on José to transform the justice system from the inside out.

We’re up against the police union and the incumbent’s entrenched power – but if enough of us chip in, we can elect José. That’s why even though the election is March 3, 2020, we have to start now.

Please make your best gift to help us elect José and radically reform the justice system in Austin. If just one of every five people reading this email pitch in, we’ll be able to hit our $5,000 goal.

Let’s go!

Shaun King
