John, the number of attacks and threats against our progressive District Attorneys have never been higher.

That’s why we have set a goal of raising $25,000 before August 31st at midnight. We’ll explain why we decided on that number but if you’re in the know and have seen all the work we have been doing to elect and defend DAs across the country, will you be one of the first folks to donate towards our goal?

In our post-Roe world, states are beginning to crack down on abortion access. We’ve seen it in states from Texas to South Dakota. MILLIONS of people who can get pregnant are at risk. 

But who is going to protect them, or the provider, if they do seek out an abortion? It’s first and foremost going to be the DA in that county.

And as DAs are already beginning to stand up for the people they represent — they are being retaliated against.

We told you about one of the more publicized instances of this where Gov. Ron Desantis suspended a Florida State Attorney for stating 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.

It’s a blatant abuse of power — but DeSantis isn’t the first and won’t be the last to pull these kinds of stunts. In Texas, the legislature wants to pass a law that would allow DAs in neighboring counties to prosecute abortion cases if DAs refuse. 

And let’s be clear: conservative leaders were already doing everything in their power to take down our DAs before Roe v. Wade was even overturned.

We saw how conservative mega-donors poured millions into San Francisco to recall Chesa Boudin. Recall efforts are also underway against our DAs in Virginia, and New York conservatives are trying to pass a law to allow recall efforts against DAs.

And now, with no federal protections in place protecting abortions, conservative leaders are going to be doing everything they can to take down our pro-choice DAs. 

Here at Real Justice, we’re not only working to protect our pro-civil rights DAs, but are working to elect even more this year to strengthen their fight with more allies. 

These efforts have concrete results. A few weeks back, we helped civil rights champion Steve Mulroy defeat an anti-choice conservative DA in Memphis who promoted mass incarceration and also tried to jail a Black woman for voting. 

Every single race we get involved in and every single attack we fight against to defend our prosecutors means more resources that will get harder and harder to afford unless we meet our fundraising goals. 

To be honest, fundraising has been down, and during this pivotal moment for progressive DAs, we can’t afford to slow down. That’s why we set our ambitious goal of hitting $25,000.

So please, we are counting on grassroots donations to make sure we have the financial foundation we need to fight harder than ever in the months to come. Can you help us chip away at our End of Month goal with a donation right now, John?

Thank you for your support,

Real Justice
