John,

Look, I’ve got to level with you. Hear me out, ok? I want to explain what
is happening in plain sight.

The vicious cycle of mass incarceration is exploding, and all of the
life-saving work we’ve done is at risk.

Our opponents — the police, wealthy donors who benefit from their
investments in a cruel, cruel system that locks people up in response to
DECADES of racist policies — are throwing everything they can at us.

And the media is EATING it up.

Every day, there’s a new headline about rising crime, lawless cities, the
need for MORE funding for the police, MORE resources to throw people in
jail and in prison.

John, this is the
same old pattern. We’ve seen it before. In the 1980s, this is exactly what
resulted in the HUGE surge we saw in mass incarceration machine that
locked up Black, brown, and poor people and never stopped.

The people who uphold this system criminalize drug use. They criminalize
poverty. They will criminalize practically anything as long as it makes
them a profit and allows them to keep strengthening a dangerous system
that kills people.

We’ve GOT to keep exposing the truth about this vicious cycle. And we must
elect fighters for justice who deeply understand that the response to
crime is to INVEST in our communities – not throw even more money at such
a deeply insidious system that only causes MORE harm and MORE pain.

John. From the bottom of my
heart. Make your best possible gift to elect more progressive
change-makers and help us fight back against these attempts to undo all
the work we’ve done together. We can’t let up now!!

I appreciate everything you do,

Shaun
