[1]Real Justice

John,

My name is José Garza and I’m the District Attorney for Travis County here
in Texas. I’m also one of the 88 elected prosecutors who vowed not to
prosecute abortions.

Enforcing abortion bans runs counter to my sworn obligation to protect the
safety and well-being of their communities.

There is no question that this ruling by the Supreme Court will make our
community less safe. We know that this is not going to end abortions, it
will end safe abortions for too many.

It’s why, even though this ruling has put targets on all of our backs by
anti-choice politicians and supporters, we are proud to be standing our
ground.

Many of the elected prosecutors who took the pledge like myself live in
states that are some of the strictest in the country on abortion. But as
elected officials, we have a responsibility to the people to uphold our
civil rights.

Together, we are about to find out just how radical the conservative
movement is and how far they are willing to go — including targeting DAs
like myself and other Real Justice-backed prosecutors.

can to Real Justice’s DA Abortion Defense Fund to protect prosecutors
fighting back against the Supreme Court, anti-choice Republicans and
whoever comes after your right to make decisions about your own body.

Here in Texas and nationally, Republican leadership has demonstrated time
and time again that they are willing to play politics with our public
safety, that there is no length to which they will not go to score
political points.

That is the reality of our current Republican party: They are increasingly
an undemocratic party that has imposed radical views not supported by the
majority of the people who live in the state or this country.

But we know that the right to an abortion — which has been identified in
the United States Constitution, which has been a part of our legal system
for over 50 years — enjoys widespread popular support from the people who
give consent to be governed.

Pro-choice district attorneys like myself, who took the pledge stand
together in our firm belief that prosecutors have a responsibility to
refrain from using limited criminal legal system resources to criminalize
personal medical decisions.

Conservatives know that DAs are the first line of defense to protect
abortion rights and will escalate their attacks on elected prosecutors
like me in the coming months to try to stop us. We need to be ready to
fight back. Are you going to join us?

[ [link removed] ]Please make a donation of whatever you can afford to Real Justice’s DA
Abortion Defense Fund so that they can protect DAs fighting for our right
to an abortion and elect more pro-choice DAs that can strengthen our fight
for civil rights nationwide.

Thank you,

José Garza
Travis County District Attorney
