Hey John, I want to make sure you
saw this email from our team on Ron DeSantis’ sketchy move to suspend a
local prosecutor who wouldn’t follow his agenda.

Let's be clear: State Attorney Andrew Warren was democratically elected by
the people. Just like Chesa Boudin was in SF, Larry Krasner in Philly, and
George Gascón in LA.⁠ 

Governors and state legislatures can’t just strip their prosecutorial
power like it’s nothing. 

When conservatives can't beat progressive DAs through the election
process, they use recalls, impeachment attempts, and now suspensions.⁠

If we don’t speak out about this, more governors and state legislatures
will follow suit. I can guarantee it.

[ [link removed] ]So PLEASE, read the email below, then sign our open letter to Ron
DeSantis telling him that District Attorneys and other local prosecutors
are elected by the people, and cannot be stripped of their prosecutorial
power.

I’m terrified of what will happen if he gets away with this, and just how
many DAs will be in danger. We can’t let this get swept under the rug. 

Love and appreciate y’all,

Shaun

Subject: FL Governor suspended Tampa’s State Attorney

John, this was
at the TOP of CNN’s website this week. It’s THAT urgent.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis suspended Tampa’s State Attorney Andrew
Warren.

Why? Because Warren has stated that he would not use the resources of his
office to prosecute women seeking abortions, the doctors that provide
them, and also doctors who provide gender affirming care to transgender
people.

DeSantis crossed a line. This is UNPRECEDENTED.

These kinds of attacks are exactly why we are working so hard to defend
our bold, pro-choice DAs — and they won’t be the last.

If we don't fight back now and make it clear that this is a BLATANT abuse
of power, we could see these same attacks in Texas, Virginia, Pennsylvania
and other states where DAs use their prosecutorial discretion to protect
women and transgender people. 

[ [link removed] ]Can you sign on to our URGENT letter to Governor DeSantis, and in turn
every state legislature in America, telling them that District Attorneys
and other local prosecutors are elected by the people, and cannot be
stripped of their prosecutorial power?

[ [link removed] ]SIGN ON

We can feel the gravity of this moment.

What we do now will determine what anti-choice opponents think they can
get away with to strip women of their rights, and send them to jail for
making choices about their own bodies.

And if we don’t speak up, and let this go by with no consequences for Ron
DeSantis, we can GUARANTEE more will follow in his footsteps. 

We have heard threats, but this is a serious attack. 

Take a stand with us right now in this critical moment to make it clear
that we won't let anti-choice governors like DeSantis and state
legislatures strip our DAs of the power given to them by the people who
elected them.

[ [link removed] ]Sign on to our letter condemning Ron DeSantis’ actions and telling him
that he has NO RIGHT to strip District Attorneys and other locally elected
prosecutors of their prosecutorial power.

Thank you for your support,

Real Justice
