John,

Earlier this month, our team announced a historic round of endorsements.

We’re endorsing SEVEN reform-minded candidates running to #FliptheBench in New Orleans and transform what justice looks like in one of the most incarcerated cities in the country.

So far, the response has been incredible. There’s an unprecedented level of nationwide attention that we’ve never seen before on a local election like this:

If we keep growing this momentum for the next 12 days — we have a real shot at electing a new slate of reform-minded judges in New Orleans. Will you make a $3 contribution right now to support our 7 endorsed-candidates running to transform the future of justice in New Orleans?

New Orleans has long been one of the most incarcerated cities in the country — in particular for Black and brown people.

Black men only make up 19% of the city’s population, but account for 88% of folks who spend time in jail.

The systemic problems that have led to mass incarceration in New Orleans trace back to the old-school style of judges that have traditionally sat on this bench.

For years, judges in New Orleans have had strong ties to the bail bond industry and have put profit over people, levying fines and fees to pad their own budgets. As a result, judges have put huge numbers of innocent people in prison and imposed years of incarceration on those who committed low-level, non-dangerous offenses.

But now, we have a rare opportunity to end this cycle. Everyone on the slate of candidates we’re endorsing is or was a public defender — and is using that experience to inform their reform-minded agenda.

Will you join us in this historic effort to bring real justice to the courtrooms of New Orleans? Make a donation right now to support our 7 endorsed-candidates as they fight these last 12 days to reach out to voters and spread their message for reform.

Let’s do this,
Team Real Justice
