John,
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis suspended Tampa’s State Attorney Andrew
Warren because he 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.
Now, Warren is suing DeSantis in federal court because his first amendment
rights were violated and DeSantis clearly abused his power as governor.
“There is so much more at stake here than my job,” said Warren during a
press conference.
If successful, DeSantis will have to throw out his executive order
suspending Warren, and other governors will be prevented from using these
same tactics to suspend local prosecutors.
And right now, we really need to build support around Warren in this
fight. Because if we don’t take a stand RIGHT NOW, more governors and
state legislatures will join DeSantis in attacking our pro-civil rights
DAs.
We have written an open letter to Ron 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] ]Can you join us and back up Warren by signing our urgent open letter to
Ron DeSantis? If you already signed, can you share with 3 of your friends
and family members? We don’t know how long this case could take so we need
to put on as much pressure as we can.

This lawsuit will be HUGE for local prosecutors fighting against
anti-choice opponents.
If federal judges rule in favor of Warren, it will affirm that governors
can’t overturn election results just because they don’t agree with the
pledges that elected prosecutors make. It will also mean that attorneys in
Florida and beyond will have more power to continue using their discretion
to protect those who can get pregnant.
And if they rule in favor of DeSantis, and there are no consequences for
his clear overreach, we can almost guarantee that more anti-choice leaders
will follow in his footsteps, making our open letter to state legislatures
even more important!
You can 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’s 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
