John,

When it comes to issues of policing and mass-incarceration, true change is seldom won in the House or Senate. It’s won at the local level.

District Attorneys wield TREMENDOUS power — often in all the wrong ways. But when we elect compassionate, fearless leaders willing to challenge the status quo, we can do so much in the way of holding racist police accountable and combating attacks against Black and Brown communities.

In just THREE DAYS, we have a chance to elect one of those incredible leaders. His name is Ramin Fatehi, and in a moment, I’m going to give you the full download on why we’re backing him as the next Norfolk Commonwealth's Attorney in Virginia.

But before I do, I need to ask for your support. His campaign is in the final sprint — they need resources NOW. Can you split a $5 donation to help elect him today?

Ramin is the real deal, John.

He is the ONLY candidate in this primary who has advanced people-first policies as both a public defender and prosecutor.

In 2020, he led the effort to abolish jury sentencing in Virginia — a policy that repeatedly subjected people to longer sentences.

In 2019, he lobbied the Norfolk Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office to get rid of cash bail and to dismiss all marijuana-possession cases.

At a time when many prosecutors are unwilling to buck the status quo, Ramin has repeatedly condemned the death penalty and vowed not to pursue it when elected.

Electing Ramin — and candidates like him all over the country — is our TOP priority. But we need to throw everything we’ve got at this race if we’re going to win.

Please make a split $5 donation today between Ramin Fatehi and our Real Justice organizing team. Together, we WILL win and continue to transform the justice system — one city, district, and state at a time.

In solidarity,

Chris Lazare
Organizing Director
