John, Senator Bernie Sanders just endorsed Kim Gardner and Victoria Burton-Harris running in St. Louis and Detroit respectively!
These endorsements affirm what we already know to be true about these advocates for reform: They are their county’s best opportunities to build fairer justice systems.
Kim and Victoria’s elections are coming up soon! They need all the support they can get to keep doing the incredible work needed to transform the legal systems in their communities. Can you chip in $5 today to help us get out the vote for them?
Victoria is right when she says, “if we really want to end mass incarceration, if we truly want to reform our broken criminal justice system, we have to start with the gatekeeper and that is your elected prosecutor.”
Wayne County, Detroit, is responsible for the largest number of wrongful convictions in the state of Michigan. Victoria is running to change that as Wayne County’s next County Prosecutor.
Kim Gardner is running to keep her seat as St. Louis Circuit Attorney. In her tenure, Kim has reduced the average daily jail population by 39 percent without increasing the crime rate in St. Louis. And she has increased police accountability by prosecuting officers who break the law by refusing to rely on the testimony of officers accused of misconduct.
We need your support today to get the vote out for these champions of reform. Every dollar you contribute will go straight to working to get these and all our endorsed candidates elected this year.
Let’s do this!!
Appreciate you,
Shaun
