John — it’s official. The right-wing backed campaign to recall San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin has submitted enough signatures to trigger a recall election that could turn back years of progress towards justice.
Those signatures still need to be certified. But there is no time to lose preparing for a long and costly fight ahead of us. That is the only way we can protect Chesa’s good work to end police brutality and protect victims. The recall organizers have already spent well over one million dollars — much of it outside dark money — to return to an old justice system that preys on Black and brown communities.
Without financial support from justice-minded readers like you, we won’t be able to stop them.
We have a long road ahead of us, and it will take massive organizing to combat the lies about Chesa being spread by recall organizers, paid canvassers using shady tactics, and even some media outlets deliberately misinforming the public about Chesa.
Our team is already ramping up organizing efforts on the ground and preparing for the campaign ahead, but all of that will take resources.
Thank you for supporting real justice,
The Real Justice team
