John,

I’m writing to you today because I want to talk about what’s considered the MOST important District Attorney race happening in our country right now.

In just 24 days, we have an opportunity to replace Los Angeles DA Jackie Lacey with reform champion George Gascón.

Los Angeles has the nation’s largest jail system — and under Jackie’s policies, the cycle of police brutality and systematic oppression has reached a breaking point. For a long time, lots of folks didn’t think George had a chance to overturn this entrenched system. But these last few months have exposed and amplified the social and political inequalities that have plagued Los Angeles for decades.

Now, the race is only a couple weeks away and George has a REAL chance to win this. This race has now become a litmus test for the strength of our reform movement. We need EVERYBODY to show up and vote for George.

Will you make a contribution to George Gascón’s campaign so we can transform one of the worst examples of mass incarceration to be a model city for reform?

George has the experience and the determination Los Angeles desperately needs.

Under the current DA, Los Angeles has faced lack of police accountability for brutalizing communities as well as opposition to key reforms such as ending cash bail, legalizing marijuana and repealing the death penalty. Under Lacey’s leadership, Los Angeles sentenced more people to death than any other county in the country – all people of color.

With George in office, we can count on him to dedicate his work to end mass incarceration, hold police accountable and divest money to the people instead of back into the broken institutions that incessantly disenfranchise the Black and brown communities of Los Angeles County.

Will you make a donation to the Gascón campaign so we can continue our work to elect reform-minded leaders into local offices across the country? Whether it's $5, $50 or $500, your contribution matters to this movement.

Thank you for your support,

Shaun King
