They're scared,
John.

We just learned that the Police Protective League — Los Angeles Police
Department’s largest union — is looking to raise at least $10 million to
support anti-reform candidates in 2022 and fight against efforts to defund
the police.

“The Police Protective League, which represents about 9,800 officers,
mailed its members ballots last week asking them to donate $22 per
paycheck for the next 48 weeks to help the union support its allies,
attack those it views as enemies and inform the public of the dangers
associated with eliminating hundreds of positions at the LAPD.”

That’s a whole lotta money they’re spending to protect an unjust system.
The LAPD is clearly upset about our recent victory in Los Angeles and the
bold reform agenda DA George Gascón is leading right now to end mass
incarceration and hold police accountable.

Police unions spent over FIVE million to defeat George, and still they
lost. But now, they’re out for vengeance — preparing EARLY and BIG to
defeat reform candidates like George and squash the movement to defund the
police.



I’m not intimidated one bit, but it’s urgent we show that this movement is
ready to fight back. [ [link removed] ]Will you chip in $22 (what the PPL is asking from
their supporters) or anything you can to help us continue electing reform
champions to office and fighting for police accountability?

Ever since George was sworn into office, he’s been passing HISTORIC
policies to end mass incarceration, stop the use of the death penalty, get
rid of cash bail, hold the police accountable, and so much more.

The reforms George is passing will have a life-changing impact on the
millions of people who live in Los Angeles county. And they are signaling
a paradigm shift among how DAs and reform advocates can approach this role
in the justice system.

Real Justice supporters helped make this happen. Together, we made sure
George’s team had the resources they needed to fight against police union
money and spread his bold message for change.

George’s win is a huge victory — but today’s news is a harsh reminder that
our fight isn’t over yet. Police unions, anti-reform groups, and GOP
leaders are now working in tandem to halt our momentum and stop our
movement from electing more leaders like George.

[ [link removed] ]Can you make a donation right now to fund our work electing more
reform-minded District Attorneys like George and help us send a message
that this movement isn’t slowing down one bit?

Keep fighting,
Chris
