[1]Real Justice

John,

I founded Real Justice PAC because one of the most powerful levers to
change our justice system from inside out, is by undoing the culture of
prosecution that pervades local District Attorney’s offices and Judicial
chambers.

From Philadelphia, to Los Angeles — we’ve seen the transformative power of
replacing career prosecutors with civil rights advocates and public
defenders committed to reform, equality, and justice.

The Biden-Harris administration has a huge opportunity to enact this kind
of change on the federal level by appointing civil rights attorneys or
public defenders to US Attorney and federal judge positions.

That’s why I’m reaching out today to ask you to sign our petition calling
on the Biden-Harris administration to commit to making reform-minded
appointments. [ [link removed] ]Can you join thousands of people demanding change from
the Biden-Harris team by adding your name right now? I need as many people
as possible to do this – immediately.

| Our Demands for the Biden-Harris team: |
| |
| Currently, the Department of Justice and the federal judiciary share |
| one troubling thing in common: they are made up almost exclusively of |
| prosecutors. In countless cities and counties across the country, we |
| are seeing radical improvements and changes in the justice system when |
| public defenders and civil rights attorneys are elected to leadership |
| roles. The Biden-Harris administration must duplicate this, going |
| beyond a small pool of prosecutors, and appointing people with diverse |
| experience who have represented and worked with those most impacted by |
| decades of the War on Drugs and tough-on-crime policies. |
| |
| * Appoint a qualified current or former civil rights attorney or |
| public defender as the Attorney General, Solicitor General, the |
| head of the Civil Rights Division and his or her deputies, and the |
| head of the criminal division. |
| * Appoint current and former public defenders as United States |
| Attorneys. |
| * Appoint current and former public defenders, and civil rights |
| attorneys, as federal judges. |
| * Appoint current and former public defenders, and civil rights |
| attorneys, to the sentencing commission. |

Already, 35 families who’ve suffered deeply from police violence and mass
incarceration have co-signed our demands – including the families of
Philando Castille, Ahmaud Arbery, and Atatiana Jefferson.

Lives depend on enough of us demanding change in who’s leading critical
decisions in our criminal justice system – that’s why so many families
who’ve lost loved ones are in this fight with us.

The question now is will you fight with us,
John? [ [link removed] ]Please sign our petition
as soon as you can so we can deliver it to top officials in the
Biden-Harris administration. The more people who sign on, the louder we’ll
be heard.

Let’s do this,
Shaun
