We need leaders fighting for reform all over the country, that’s why RJP is so important.

John, I want to thank you.

Our victory this week in the reelection race for Circuit Attorney of St. Louis has clearly shown that our community will continue to fight for the institutional reform we deserve.

The work of reforming our justice system has always been personal to me. But in this campaign it got really personal. The level of opposition and hate that our campaign and I personally encountered was astounding. 

The fact that Real Justice supporters around the country were lining up behind us was a game changer. It gave me even more confidence and energy to stand up to the attacks. And it gave our campaign the resources to not only win, but win resoundingly. 

Now is the time to build off this momentum, and elect leaders across the country who will take on racist systems, and fiercely advocate for real justice.

This isn’t just about winning an election. The progress we are making in St. Louis is transforming lives. We’ve accomplished significant structural changes in our mass incarceration and legal justice systems. We were able to reduce the jail population by 40% and we’ve done so without any related influx in crime. We were able to expand services to victims of crime, and to create a Conviction Integrity Unit for more police accountability. I’m incredibly proud of these accomplishments for the people of St. Louis, and so grateful to you that our office can continue this progress. 

Everyone deserves to be represented and protected by judicial systems that prioritize justice and safety — not sustain mass incarceration and racist systems. I can tell you personally that this work attracts tremendous opposition, ridicule and attacks. 

It will take all of us to support the institutions and individuals who fearlessly fight for change, so that all communities can have the future they deserve.

Can you make a contribution to Team Real Justice so they can continue to champion these future leaders? It's up to us to band together as a community to continue our progress towards a brighter and more inclusive future.

Thank you for fighting,

Kim Gardner

Circuit Attorney of St. Louis
