John,

In New York City, we helped elect Alvin Bragg, an incredible justice
champion as District Attorney in November.

Now he is facing the same push back so many of our electeds have faced for
doing exactly what he promised to do — ending the criminalization of low
level offenses that are often incentivized by the system that uses jail
and prison time as a response to poverty.

Let’s be plain,
John. Using prison and jail time
as the main way to address crime is disproportionately used against poor
Black and brown people and doesn’t keep our communities safe.

Alvin’s barely been in office two months and he’s already facing these
kinds of disingenuous attacks. He’s making good on his campaign promises —
and we know the worst forces in the criminal legal system are working to
ramp up mass incarceration like never before.

From nearly ALL directions, we are seeing unprecedented attacks on our
elected DAs for delivering on their promises to end mass incarceration, to
stop locking up Black, brown, and poor people, and for addressing the real
root causes of crime.

These are ALL attacks used to fuel the fire of a punitive justice system.
And the major players in that system are listening.

John,
it's even been hard for us to keep up
with these attacks against our elected DAs, because they are coming faster
than ever before.

These attacks are a DIRECT response to everything we have accomplished.

Our opponents are seeing that proposals to end cash bail, reduce mass
incarceration, stop the prosecution of low level offenses, and so much
more are keeping communities safe. And they can’t stand to see their
corruption being exposed.

We can address the root causes of harm and keep people safe by electing
DAs like Alvin Bragg – who are focused on transforming a punitive,
carceral system into one based on restorative justice and investing in
communities. DAs occupy a unique position of power to actually IMPLEMENT
these policies.

truth about our so-called ‘justice’ system and defend our elected justice
champions by chipping in to our Real Justice DA Defense Fund today.

Together,

Chris Lazare, Real Justice
