John,
For years, DFA has worked to drastically improve the way we approach criminal justice in America.
It has been our mission to back candidates up and down the ballot that will fight for bold policies, expand the electorate, upend the status quo and truly build the political power it will take to enact the change we need.
Our dedication to this work is why in some of our nation’s largest cities, we have elected progressive District Attorneys running to truly reform criminal justice.
Since 2016, DFA members have helped elect transformational District Attorneys nationwide, including Kim Foxx in Chicago, Larry Krasner in Philadelphia, Rachael Rollins in Boston, Wesley Bell in St. Louis, and Chesa Boudin in San Francisco.
What each of their victories proved is that when candidates engage the New American Majority -- young voters, people of color and white progressives -- with bold ideas that will truly improve criminal justice, tremendous change is not only possible, it is inevitable.
As DFA gears up to support the next generation of criminal justice champions, we will send your a free copy of Larry Krasners’ new book, For the People: A Story of Justice and Power, with a contribution of only $35 or more.
DFA members are on the front lines in the fight for criminal justice and our strategy of fighting city by city electing transformational criminal justice champions works.
These District Attorney's didn't win because of the contributions of special interests or wealthy donors. They won because DFA members like you supported them and worked with them to build people-powered campaigns that engaged people who don't typically participate in the political process.
We can elect better District Attorneys, Sheriffs, and Attorney Generals, and when we elect criminal justice champions to crucial leadership positions, we will create safer communities and save lives.
If you're excited about the work we have ahead, you can help build the infrastructure we need to elect more criminal justice champions and receive a free copy of Larry Krasner’s new book For the People: A Story of Justice and Power by contributing just $35 or more today.
Thank you for helping DFA build on these historic victories while transforming our country in the process.
