John,

I’m very excited to share Real Justice’s next endorsement. We are proud to support Mike Schmidt in the District Attorney race in Multnomah County, Oregon. (That’s Portland!)

The incumbent DA is retiring so the seat is up for grabs. That means we have a really great shot at electing a District Attorney who will fight to end mass incarceration in Portland, Oregon.

Mike is going to fight to end cash bail and he’s pledged to never seek the death penalty — but the primary election is in less than two months so we need all hands on deck to secure this win.

We’re throwing our weight behind Mike Schmidt to be the next DA in Portland!!! But we need your help to elect him – please make your best gift to help elect Mike.

As the Director of the Criminal Justice Association in Oregon, Mike used his position to advocate to end cash bail in the state and promoted other crucial criminal justice reforms.

Mike has also pledged to never seek the death penalty as District Attorney of Multnomah County. He recognizes that the death penalty is a draconian and cruel punishment that should be completely abolished.

You’ve probably heard me say this before, but no single person in the criminal justice system has more power, more influence, and makes more consequential decisions than the local district attorney. By electing a reform-minded district attorney in Portland, Oregon we can continue to build our movement to transform our criminal legal system from the inside out.

The primary election is in under just two months. This means we all need to do everything we can to help Mike win on May 19th. Together, we can radically transform the system in Portland and build the power to transform our entire country.

Do your part to help us bring real justice to Portland by chipping in any amount you can afford to help elect Mike Schmidt.

Every donation, whether it’s $5 or $500, makes a huge difference.

Let’s go!
