John, I have GREAT NEWS!!!

Our dear brother Michael Thompson, after serving 26 years in prison in Michigan FOR SELLING WEED, just had his sentence commuted and will be set FREE!⁣

I want to thank everyone who joined us in sending 140,000 messages advocating for Michael’s freedom. Today is a powerful reminder of what we’re able to accomplish when we work together. ⁣But our work does not stop here.

Right now, there are millions of people like Michael, unjustly locked behind bars. There’s an epidemic of mass incarceration in our country as a result of the “War on Drugs” which has really been a war on people of color.

Real Justice District Attorneys like Chesa Boudin, Kim Foxx, and Larry Krasner have made significant progress in recent years around decriminalization and drug reform. From dropping existing charges for marijuana possession, to passing policies that focus on rehabilitation versus incarceration, these DA’s are taking proactive measures to prevent millions of people from sharing Michael’s unjust experience and end this racist cycle. That is why I am asking:

Please help us take this momentum forward by making a $5 gift right now, ok? Together, we can elect more reform-minded District Attorneys who can help free more people like Michael and transform our racist and unjust criminal legal system.

Contribute $5

It took all of us. BUT MICHAEL IS COMING HOME!

There’s still so much work ahead of us to end the cycle of mass incarceration and systemic racism that’s put so many folks behind bars for non-violent drug charges.

This work starts with addressing the fact that there are far too many District Attorneys in our country who are prosecuting and putting people behind bars for cannabis related offenses while others make huge profits.

That is an injustice that must come to an end. By electing District Attorneys who will refuse to prosecute cannabis offenses and support progressive drug reform initiatives, we can drastically shift our entire criminal legal system. With your support we will continue to fight to elect leaders like Kim Foxx, Larry Krasner, and Chesa Boudin who are transforming the legal systems in their cities.

In order to do that, we need your support to keep endorsing and organizing for candidates who will fight to dismantle the War on Drugs. Can you make a donation right now to Real Justice so we can continue this critical work in 2021?

Contribute $5If you can’t afford it right now, I understand. I hope you will organize and advocate with us in any way you can.

Appreciate you!
