John, a major win
just happened in St. Louis! Let us explain – and then make an important
request to carry this success forward.

In 2014, the people of St. Louis helped build Black Lives Matter into a
global movement when they stood up, night after night, for Mike Brown in
the face of police violence.

St. Louis led again, when local activists and Real Justice organizers
elected two amazing prosecutors — District Attorney Wesley Bell and County
Attorney Kim Gardner — who are transforming the way that their offices
deliver justice.

And this week — with the help of an incredible volunteer presence,
Grassroots Law PAC, and talented campaign staff — our movement just
elected Tishaura Jones, who will be the first Black woman to ever serve as
mayor, and then 4 other progressives to their Board of Aldermen.

Together, Grassroots Law PAC and the Real Justice PAC supported ALL of the
candidates that are transforming St. Louis’ justice system.

Think about it:

The city council can set police budgets that re-invest in communities,
rather than cages, and create new laws to address police violence.

The mayor can appoint leaders that will implement that agenda, rather than
obstruct it.

Prosecutors can set sentences that make use of those shifted resources to
remove people from cages, and prosecute officers that harm people.

It’s a blueprint for success. And we want to do it again, in city after
city, nationwide.

When we helped elect Wesley Bell and Kim Gardner, it was a historic win
for our movement.

But we learned that — although District Attorneys can bring about a TON of
change by themselves — they still need allies in every area of the local
government to be able to meet their full potential.

That’s why we formed the Grassroots Law PAC — it is the second half of our
vision for electing leaders who will transform policing and criminal
justice in cities and states around the country.

two amazing teams to push for deep change EVERYWHERE it is needed. Please
chip in today.

Together we can recruit, train, and support local candidates for office
capable of creating a different kind of justice system that respects Black
life.

St. Louis and ALL OF YOU are showing how it’s done. Let’s keep it up.

— Team Real Justice
