John, this news out of Tennessee is exactly WHY we do the work we do – to defeat corrupt DAs like Amy Weirich.
DA Weirich oversaw both of these cases.
In one, a white ex-deputy cop was accused of raping a 14 year old girl.
In another, Pamela Moses, a Black woman who is a former Memphis mayoral candidate, was accused of illegally registering to vote.
The ex-deputy was allowed to AVOID prison and his sex offender status. But Pamela was sentenced to SIX YEARS IN PRISON for trying to register to vote.
It’s disgusting. It’s racist. It’s why we need to elect more DAs who will actually hold the cops accountable and stop locking up Black and brown people.
John, there are MANY more DAs like Amy Weirich out there.
They uphold white supremacy, protect corrupt cops — all while criminalizing communities of color and the poor.
DAs decide which cases to prosecute, so they are some of the only positions of power that can drastically change our local criminal legal systems.
THIS is why we do this work. This is why we elect DAs who are deeply committed to civil rights and real justice for ALL of us.
John, we can elect incredible justice champions all over the country in 2022, but we need your help to do it.
Let’s do this,
Real Justice
