John,
In 2017, DFA members helped elect Larry Krasner, an absolutely transformational leader to Philadelphia's District Attorney’s office.
As one of the first truly progressive DA of a major American city, Krasner has reformed sentencing guidelines and eliminated the use of cash bail in many cases.
Larry has placed his focus on fighting for stronger rehabilitative services, working with community activists, and fundamentally shifting away from punishment and towards rehabilitation.
A civil rights lawyer with a track record of successfully holding the police accountable, Larry Krasner is one of the most prolific and important figures in the criminal justice movement.
That’s why I’m excited to tell you that in preparation for DFA's launch of its new campaign on criminal justice, we’ll send you Larry Krasners’ new book, For the People, as a FREE thank you gift with a contribution of just $35 or more.
For the People is a book that must be read if you want to gain a deep understanding of how people can take back power to reform criminal justice.
And don’t just take our word for it, check out what other powerful critics of the criminal justice system have to say.
Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow -“Larry Krasner’s story is astonishing and compelling because he’s flipping the script. After decades of police and prosecutors being lionized in our culture, Krasner rises to power promising to defend the lambs. This is a story not to be missed.”
Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy -“Larry Krasner is at the forefront of a movement to disrupt a system. This is a story that needs to be read by millions.”
Throughout the book, Larry uses his extensive knowledge working as a criminal defense lawyer in Philadelphia for thirty years to give readers a deep understanding of what we can do to tackle the biggest problems we face in overhauling criminal justice in America.
If you donate just $35 or more to help DFA prepare to launch our new criminal justice campaign, we’ll send you a free copy of Larry Krasner’s new book For the People as a thank you.
We have a lot of work ahead of us. Don't miss your opportunity to read Larry Krasner's new book and support Democracy for America at the same time.
Thanks, in advance, for pitching in.
