John,

We told you we would be diving even deeper this year: supporting and
building a bench of justice champions working to transform our justice
system.

Today, we are excited to announce three key endorsements we’re making in
Texas. Two of these incredible leaders are running for reelection and one
is running for a wide open seat. That means we have a huge chance to elect
yet another justice champion and defend our critical progress in Texas –
all so we can stop these dangerous, deadly, and racist systems of
policing, incarceration, and injustice.

In Dallas County, we’re endorsing John Creuzot in his reelection campaign
to continue serving as Dallas County DA. First elected as DA in 2018, John
has fought tirelessly to deliver on a progressive agenda centered on
decreasing the tactics of criminalization in low level offenses. Within
the first four months of being in office, he announced his office would no
longer prosecute the theft of “necessary items” — a tactic often used to
lock up poor Black and brown people.

Within this same policy shift, he also dismissed over 1,000 cases related
to marijuana possession — yet another charge disproportionately brought
against Black and brown people that leads straight to increasing mass
incarceration. John is in a tough reelection fight and we’re proud to have
his back.

In Bexar County, we’re endorsing Joe Gonzales in his reelection campaign
to continue serving as Bexar County District Attorney. Also elected as DA
in 2018, Joe has been a fighter to enact progressive policies that
decrease the need for prosecution of low level offenses.

This included the implementation of a cite and release program — after two
years of being in operation, it was estimated that marijuana possession
cases were down 99.6% which led to a decrease in the county jail
population and saved taxpayers in San Antonio millions of dollars. This
program has been enormously successful and we need to make sure we can
re-elect Joe and defeat the Republicans who are already targeting this
race.

Finally, we’re excited to endorse Albert Roberts in his bid to be the next
District Attorney for Tarrant County. The current DA, who Albert ran
against in 2018, announced she would not run again for this seat. This
leaves it wide open to elect Albert, who is running on a platform to end
mass incarceration through ending jail time for low level, non-violent
drug offenses, enacting his own cite and release program, and ending cash
bail.

Albert understands that our current justice system is built with white
supremacy at its root. There is no justice in locking up millions of Black
and brown people, for separating families, and for causing decades of
systemic harm that has only perpetuated this cycle. Albert will be an
incredible champion for the people of Tarrant County and we could not be
more excited to support him in this race.

can only elect these three amazing candidates with your help. The primary

to John, Joe, and Albert right now and ensure they have what it takes to
win in just six weeks?

This is just the beginning. We’re going to announce even more endorsements
and keep doing the work — city by city, county by county, state by state —
to continue transforming our justice system and fighting to elect leaders
who will work to serve their communities, not contribute to an insidious,
carceral cycle.

It has never been more important for our movement to not back down. A
dangerous and false narrative is brewing that more policing and more
incarceration is the answer to community safety right now – which we know
will lead to more murdering and maiming of Black and brown people. We
can’t let that happen.

zero in this fight. Together, we can build the bench of progressive DAs
nationwide.

Let's do this!!!
