Lee Merritt just announced his week one fundraising totals: Thousands of
people from ALL 50 states — plus Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands —
pitched in over the course of the last week. In total, they raised
$209,629 with an average donation of just $32.

But here’s why YOU should be especially proud,
John: together, our community
raised $77,855 for Lee from nearly 3,000 individual, small-dollar
donations. IN JUST A WEEK.

In addition, Real Justice sent Lee’s campaign a gift of $122,298 — some
prior to launch and the rest just this morning.

That is a game-changing amount of money, and we can’t thank you enough.

Now we need to re-center on our OWN fundraising. We went to the mat for
Lee and have to make up a lot of ground to keep all our other vital
campaigns rolling.

Let us break down why your support means so much. The beginning of a
campaign is always the hardest. ESPECIALLY for a first-time candidate like
Lee.

He doesn’t have the network that incumbents like Ken Paxton have. And he’s
not from a political dynasty like George P. Bush either.

These two Republican opponents are also drowning in corporate cash. In
2021, they’ve raised a combined $4 million, with average contributions of
$3,160 and $2,032 respectively. That’s more than a minimum-wage worker in
Texas makes in TWO MONTHS.

But this is only one example of the type of opposition our Real Justice
candidates face across the country. Backlash to our movement is growing.

Everywhere we look, ultra-wealthy conservatives and racist police groups
are mounting massive campaigns to stop our momentum to curb police
violence and incarceration.

That’s why we need you now,
John. We’ve already
achieved so much thanks to your support. What happens next will come down
to whether we can rise to the challenges we face. It will only work if we
do it together.

[ [link removed] ]We really need your help getting our own fundraising back on track.
We’re working all across the country to elect fearless leaders like Lee
Merritt, and we rely on grassroots donations to keep that organizing work
going strong.

We appreciate all that you do. And appreciate all that you’ve done to help
our dear friend Lee Merritt.
