John,

Tomorrow, we’ll officially be in 2022.

Tomorrow, we’ll be kicking off all our important plans and strategies we’ve laid out for the new year — and it’s all possible because of people like you who continue to power our work.

As a reminder, here’s what we’ve got in store for 2022.

1. Defend our DA justice champions against attacks from police groups and wealthy conservatives. The DA's we have helped elect are leading the fight to end mass incarceration, police violence, and keep their communities safe. That’s why our opponents are launching unprecedented attacks to strip them of power – via recall campaigns or targeting those up for re-election. That is why we are preparing to roll out campaigns in more counties to make sure we do not lose any seats in 2022.


2. Deepen the change we make by electing new allies to work hand-in-hand with our district attorneys – via our partner Grassroots Law PAC. Mayors and City Council Members set police budgets, hire and oversee police chiefs, and set spending priorities for their entire cities. We can turn past DA victories into even deeper structural change that benefits the people if we ensure that we have these allies in office.


3. Grow our ranks by electing bold, underdog candidates for DA in strategic counties across the country. Since we launched in 2017, we have already helped elect 21 district attorneys, but this is no time to slow down. We can impact millions more lives in more districts if we grow the ranks by targeting open seats and supporting a few key challengers to take down incumbents. These races will be incredibly tough – but together we can win.

John, this is going to take everything we’ve got.

Shaun wrote to you a few days ago about a painful prediction for the upcoming year: we are about to enter an era of mass incarceration that will rival the worst periods in modern American history.

WE at Real Justice have a way to help put a stop to this — everything we have planned for 2022 will help us fight this crisis head-on. But we’re depending on a surge of year-end donations to make sure we actually can, heading into 2022.

We’ve already made incredible progress. We must defend that progress and continue to build upon that work. If you can, please make your best gift to Real Justice right now. It’s never been more important. It’s never been more urgent.

Let's do this,

Real Justice
