John, I want to
share with you a powerful example of what can happen when we elect
District Attorneys that are committed to real justice and reform.

In the past year, more wrongfully incarcerated people were exonerated of
murder in Philadelphia County than anywhere else in America. Why?^1

Since taking office in 2018, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry has
exonerated 15 people including 40-year-old Terrance Lewis who was
wrongfully convicted and sentenced to life in prison in 1999. There are so
many more innocent lives in prison right now who are in need of the
transformational and life changing reform that Larry is bringing to the
table – and he’s just getting started.

Larry has had to make tough choices in order to abolish the pillars of
discrimination and racism and create a new culture of legal justice for
our communities. From firing employers who were complicit in the
convictions of people who are now being exonerated to providing education
to prosecutors on how to represent defendants for the better – his radical
efforts have landed Philadelphia on the national stage for being a beacon
of hope for the potential our mission holds.

Larry has an important re-election coming
up and because of his radical progress, it’s going to be one of the most
hard fought in the country. It’s up to all of us to show up for the
leaders who follow through on their promise of reform. Will you contribute
$5 to team Real Justice to continue this fight for true transformative
change?

Larry’s exoneration of 15 people is just one way Larry has been working to
transform the justice system in Philadelphia. Through the creation of
Conviction Integrity Units and a partnership with the Truth, Justice and
Reconciliation Commission, Larry is actively working with other Real
Justice reform prosecutors across the country.

Making this kind of change isn’t easy,
John.

Everyone, from Trump and his GOP henchmen, to police unions and
anti-reform elected officials have been attacking Larry since he took
office because they’re scared of the bold change Larry is leading. It’s
going to be a hard fight to reelect him – but Real Justice plans on having
his back and we’re preparing right now to help make his reelection
campaign a success.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, our current legal system is not
broken, it's working exactly how it's supposed to. As local prosecutors
and police enforcement slip below the radar to continue abusing these
systems, it’s up to us to support and elect leaders, like Larry, to break
down these barriers from the ground up.

Real Justice team? Whether it's $5, $25, $50, or $100, every dollar you
donate goes directly to supporting and strengthening our mission to
completely change the pathway of our legal systems.
