This is huge news, John.

The District Attorney who mishandled Ahmaud Arbery’s case and failed to bring justice for Ahmaud’s family is now out of office.

Former District Attorney Jackie Johnson failed Ahmaud in every way imaginable and actively helped keep two white supremacists out on the streets. She stopped the police from making an arrest even when they identified Ahmaud’s murderers. But this November, Ahmaud’s community rose up to elect a new DA who campaigned on transparency, accountability, and fixing injustice.

This is an incredible example of voters rising up at the ballot box to enact change. More folks than ever agree that it’s time to radically transform our justice system. If we can harness this enthusiasm across the country, we can pass bold reform, district by district.

Real Justice is committed to helping more communities replace District Attorneys perpetuating our current broken justice system with leaders who will fight for accountability, take hate crimes seriously, and won’t try to cover up acts of white supremacy. Will you chip in $5 to help power this work?

Ahmaud’s murder will forever be a harsh reminder of what’s at stake if we don’t make drastic changes to our broken justice system.

But like Ahmaud’s community, we’re choosing to fight back.

District Attorneys are some of the most powerful elected officials who can turn the tide on systemic racism and oppression in the justice system. That’s why our team is working on big plans right now to endorse more reform-minded champions and make sure they have the support they need to win.

The number of candidates we’re able to help depends on how many people like you, John, chip in to support our work. If you can afford it, will you make a donation to Real Justice and help us elect District Attorneys all over the country who believe in reforming our broken criminal legal system?

Keep fighting,
Real Justice
