60 percent, John.
Under Wesley Bell’s leadership, there are 60% more Black women behind bars
in St. Louis County today than there were a year ago.
Bell is the dark-money-funded prosecutor challenging Rep. Cori Bush in
Missouri’s 1st congressional district. And we’ve got a question for him:
[ [link removed] ]Justice Democrats: If Wesley Bell can’t keep his promises at the county
level, why should anyone believe he will in Congress? NPR headline: Report
from racial justice groups says Wesley Bell’s office has not kept its
promises.
A new report has found that Wesley Bell failed to live up to the
progressive promises he made in the past on the campaign trail. [ [link removed] ]Can you
split a donation between Cori’s campaign and Justice Democrats right now
to make sure he doesn’t replace Cori in Congress and continue to break his
promises to the people?
Under Bell’s leadership, the St. Louis County jail population has
increased 23% in the past year and 46% in the past two years — even as the
national jail and prison population fell by over 10% during the same
period.
His office failed to respond to almost a dozen requests for data,
including questions about whether his office employs a lobbyist, maintains
a police officer exclusion list, has made efforts to curb pretrial
detention, seeks the death penalty, has a record of criminalizing
protestors, and more.
Wesley Bell ran as a reformer who would address the systemic injustices
that plague our legal system. But as a prosecutor, he has done the
opposite, overseeing the steady climb of St. Louis County’s jail
population. Now, he’s making a whole new set of promises to defeat Cori
and get elected to Congress — but we know he won’t keep them.
[ [link removed] ]We have less than two weeks to stop Bell and re-elect Cori. Split
$5 between her campaign and Justice Democrats now to make
sure Bell and his broken promises don’t make it to Congress.
John, before
he became a prosecutor, Wesley Bell worked for an anti-abortion
Republican. Now, he’s promising to defend reproductive freedom in
Congress. Do we really believe him?
Cori Bush keeps her promises. Let’s get her re-elected.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
