John,
Today, we want to show you what a huge difference it makes when we elect
District Attorneys who are focused on using their power for justice.
It’s only been 6 days since George Gascón was elected the next District
Attorney of Los Angeles — but he’s already bringing HUGE change to the
most incarcerated city in the world.

to Los Angeles, can you make a monthly donation to Real Justice? Recurring
donations give us the sustained support we need to continue electing
candidates like George and transforming the justice system, district by
district.
Leading up to his election, this was the state of Los Angeles under
previous DA Jackie Lacey’s rule:
* LA has more death row prisoners than any county in the United States.
* LA incarcerates more people than almost any country in the world.
* The LAPD kills more people per year than almost any country in the
world.
It’s only been 6 days since George won his race, but he’s already leading
a MAJOR transformation of the face of justice in Los Angeles:
* Earlier this week, Gascón met with Black Lives Matters organizers
along with families of people who died after interactions with law
enforcement in LA County. This is a major shift. The Black Lives
Matter movement had a tumultuous relationship with the DA Jackie
Lacey, who often ignored demands to address police brutality.
* George announced he’d immediately stop seeking the death penalty in LA
County.
* George pledged to immediately stop prosecuting children as adults.
* And he’s just getting started.
This is what real change looks like,
John. [ [link removed] ]We’re proud of the work
George is leading and we can’t wait to elect more reform champions like
him. Can you make a recurring donation to Real Justice to help us grow our
justice movement?

This kind of change isn’t limited to Los Angeles and the work starts long
before Election Day. If we keep building up the resources we need to get
involved in more DA races — we can change justice in communities
throughout the United States.
But winning these races takes a lot of resources. We’re up against
well-funded groups who will spend big to protect prisons and police. But
time and time again, we proved that with enough people pitching in, we can
win. After George’s victory, we’re fired up and hungry to score more big
victories and grow our movement for justice.

electing local progressive candidates. Can you make a monthly donation and
help us elect more DA’s for reform?

Keep fighting,
