John, we just won some important district attorney races that will help pave the way for justice reform – but the fight isn’t over once these candidates are elected.
We’re seeing a pattern emerge all over the country: people in power who want to maintain the status quo are fighting back, trying to stop our momentum for reform. The old-guard political establishment is trying to halt the progress of district attorneys we helped elect. Police unions have worked to avoid accountability for cops.
We can’t let them succeed. Can you help make sure Real Justice has the resources to take on the challenges ahead and stop mass incarceration and unjust policing? Chip in $5 right now.Contribute
The national press are catching wind of this pattern, too. Just look at this headline:
We’re seeing this in cities from Philadelphia to Boston, Dallas to San Antonio, and beyond. Lawmakers, governors, police union leaders, conservative district attorneys, and Trump administration officials have all leveraged their power against our goals.
Real Justice urgently needs your help so we have the resources to both help existing reform-minded prosecutors (also called district attorneys) push back against assaults on their office, as well as elect more bold reformers all over. So please:
Together, we can replace the old system with something radically different that heals our communities.
Thank you,
Real Justice team
