John, this needs
to be a national story.

In the Deep South, voters in Memphis, Tennessee showed up in a MAJOR way
to oust conservative DA Amy Weirich and elect Steve Mulroy — a progressive
reformer and civil rights attorney. 

It's a HUGE deal. THANK YOU to everyone who worked hard for this victory.⁠

We contacted thousands of voters to help elect Steve, a fighter for civil
rights, justice, and accountability. Steve will be “tough on crime” by
introducing real public safety solutions that actually invest in our
communities instead of criminalizing them. ⁠

FORMER DA Amy Weirich said she was "tough on crime" but what she actually
meant was sending as many Black people to jail as possible. 

Amy regularly committed prosecutorial misconduct, including withholding
evidence before trial to send innocent Black people to jail — including
her attempt to send Pamela Moses to prison for six years for registering
to vote.⁠

She prosecuted more kids as adults than the rest of Tennessee combined and
nearly all of them are Black.⁠ Racial discrimination was so rampant that
multiple County Commissioners endorsed a racial equity audit of her
office⁠.

Meanwhile, Memphis is number one in the nation for violent crime per
capita and it’s gone up every year that Amy has been in office. More proof
that over-policing our communities doesn’t keep us safe. 

Black and brown bodies had been suffering in Memphis for too long under
her reign and last night, voters made it clear that they’ve had enough and
elected Steve Mulroy to replace her. 

Amy even tried to bring Steve’s campaign down by directly mentioning us
and our work in a dishonest radio ad that featured some of the same
fear-mongering we’ve seen in San Francisco, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and
other cities where we’ve elected pro-civil rights DAs. 

But it didn’t work. After Chesa was recalled, the national media claimed
that our movement was on the decline. But now, in a city bigger than San
Francisco, we’ve elected a champion for justice and civil rights in Steve
Mulroy. 

Police unions and conservative mega-donors can continue working to oppose
our movement, but together we will keep fighting to elect pro-civil rights
and pro-justice DAs like Steve all across America.⁠

Let's keep pushing forward.
