John, I want to be frank here.
Our online fundraising has slowed down. And one key reason we’ve heard from our supporters is that they are simply overwhelmed by the number of emails they’re receiving from presidential primary candidates – so they’re reading fewer emails across the board.
Don’t get me wrong. The presidential primary is a very Big Deal. But many of the presidential candidates already have millions of dollars in the bank. We don’t. And honestly, the likelihood is that your donations will go farther with us.
Listen to me. Real Justice is doing amazing work in dozens of counties right now. We are fighting tooth-and-nail for change in a system that’s literally costing people their lives. So I’m asking you:
You might’ve heard me say this before, but it’s important, so I will say it again: No elected official has more power to stop mass incarceration than the district attorney. They’re also one of the only elected officials who can put a check on police abuses of power.
That’s why Real Justice is laser-focused on electing district attorneys and pressuring existing ones to use their authority for good.
But there are 2,400 district attorneys in the country, and right now many of them are conservative, racist, and in the pockets of highly-funded groups working behind the scenes to protect prisons and police. So we’ve got a ton of work to do, and we can’t do it without you!!!
When you contribute to Real Justice, you can be sure that the funds are going to good and incredibly efficient use – making change on the ground, district by district, county by county, state by state, transforming the justice system from the inside out.
We depend on people donating to emails like this one to stay well-funded, so if you’re reading this right now, thank you. We need you!
Appreciate you!!!
Shaun
