John,
There are a lot of groups out there who want to see us fail. In fact, there are entire systems that work against us every single day.
Police departments and police unions want to see us fail because our candidates will curb their militarized budgets and hold criminal cops accountable.
The for-profit prison system wants to see us fail because we threaten their ability to rake in obscene amounts of money off mass-incarceration.
And a whole lot of prosecutors and DA associations want to see us fail because we jeopardize not only their control over elections, but one of their main sources of campaign funding.
The simple truth is that when our endorsed candidates get into office, they are able to transform the system in incredible ways. But in order to do the hard, crucial work of electing these leaders, we need the resources it takes to overcome all the dark money that Republicans and anti-reform groups are spending.
When compassionate leaders win, our whole movement to transform the justice system wins. And it sends a loud and clear message that the momentum is on OUR side.
This work and our organization are fueled by folks across the whole country — literally from every U.S. state and territory — chipping in an average donation of just $16.
Thanks for all that you do.
