John,
We have a question we want to ask you — is there anything we can say to encourage you to give to Real Justice right now?
What if we told you that District Attorneys are some of the ONLY people with real power to actually hold cops accountable for their brutality?
What if we told you that we’ve helped elect DAs who have fought to end mass incarceration, exonerated people who have been wrongfully incarcerated for decades, and fought to undo some of the cruelest policies that permeate our so-called ‘justice system’?
What if we told you that the DAs we have helped elect are being targeted by our opponents with disingenuous recall efforts and false attacks — who are spending MILLIONS just to stop all the progress we’ve made and preserve a barbaric, carceral system?
And what if we told you that, unlike those who are doing everything they can to put a stop to our life-saving work, we’re funded by grassroots donations from people like you?
Our opponents will stop at NOTHING. From trying to recall the justice champions we have elected, to running disinformation campaigns that use the very worst pro-incarceration talking points, to using racist, white supremacist tactics that continue to criminalize Black and brown people — they’re doing it all. Even worse, they have nearly unlimited amounts of money to spend.
We don’t have that kind of funding, John. But we do have people like you. Our work has never been more important. We cannot miss a single step. Let's do this, Real Justice
