The work we do isn’t easy, John.

It can be draining waking up every day to more stories and headlines about our racist criminal justice system. It’s clear there’s a lot of work we need to do to bring REAL JUSTICE to all of our communities.

But today, I want to share with you a powerful example of our hard work paying off. Ever since we helped elect Larry Krasner as the District Attorney of Philadelphia — he’s been showing us what’s possible when we elect people-focused DA’s.

But we’re not the only ones who've noticed the reform revolution that Larry is leading. His bold leadership has made him the target of police unions, Republican PACs, and anti-reform groups that are already planning on spending millions to prevent his reelection.

When you’re done reading about the progressive reform initiatives Larry’s helped pass in office and the impact he’s made on Philadelphia’s justice system, will you chip in $5 or anything you can to make sure we keep Larry in office?

When Larry first ran in 2018, he promised a criminal justice revolution. Since then, Larry has exceeded expectations and has brought sweeping reforms to Philadelphia.

• Up until that point, I’ve never seen a District Attorney release a bold plan like this document upon entering office that underlines concrete steps to end the cycle of mass incarceration and police brutality.

• In his memo, he rolled out a series of directives to seek shorter sentences, divert low-level offenses from the justice system, end prosecuting marijuana possession, and charge crimes at a lower level.
• He released a list of 29 officers from the Philadelphia Police Department that were on a “do-not-call list” — meaning that they were so tainted that they should be considered unreliable as witnesses.
• He joined forces with two other District Attorneys to launch The Truth, Justice, and Reconciliation Commission — a nationwide project that creates a process to fight for people who have been wronged by police violence, and overzealous prosecutors by prosecutors, by cycles and systems, and by this country.
• When Trump’s goons were literally kidnapping protestors off the streets of Portland and threatening to go into more cities, Larry threw down the gauntlet to protect Philadelphians' right to protest in support of Black Lives. On national television he proclaimed. “Anyone, including federal law enforcement, who unlawfully assaults and kidnaps people will face criminal charges from my office. At trial, they will face a Philadelphia jury.”

And that’s only the beginning of what Larry has accomplished so far. I remember when they said he was totally unelectable. A radical. In reality, he's just someone who knows our justice system well and can see how backward most status quo policies are.

Because of his tremendous success, everyone from Trump, police unions, and anti-reform groups has been working to undermine Larry. They know his office represents a threat to the establishment, especially if he wins re-election this year.

It’s going to take a wave of folks like you, John, showing your support for Larry to make sure he stays in office. Giving even just $5 makes a big difference in helping Larry’s campaign fight against these attacks.

Let’s GO!
