John, Real Justice-backed Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner went on MSNBC to tell us what is really behind Republicans' crime campaigns. 

When asked by show host Mehdi Hasan why Democrats are struggling to counter-message against the GOP’s fearmongering campaign on crime, Larry immediately had an answer:

“I think it’s easy, Democrats gotta stand up, cause this is a nonsense argument that we can beat.”

And we have the facts on our side. Check it out:

• The murder rate is 40% higher in states led by Republicans than states led by Democrats 
• 8 of 10 most murderous cities in America are Republican-voting cities
• “Lawlessness” is a dog-whistle, only used against cities with Black and brown people
• Republicans continue to stop efforts to end gun violence

Republicans are spewing lies to try and counter the facts — and we saw that they were successful in San Francisco against former DA Chesa Boudin. 

We can’t allow these conservatives to expand their attacks on our DAs and go all in on racist fear-mongering ahead of Election Day. Help us fight back against misinformation hurting progressive DAs running this year by contributing to Real Justice today.

CONTRIBUTE $5

We saw conservative mega donors build an entire multi-million dollar campaign to overturn the work of Chesa. And that time, they won. 

If we don’t act now, they’ll continue to raise up campaigns like this, based on lies, in cities across the country.

But the more we can spread the truth, and elect more DAs like Larry who are going to fight to protect civil rights and pursue justice, the more we can continue the REAL work to improve public safety, not simply exploit the idea of it for political points.

Our opponents claim that their attempts to overturn the work of our DAs are  about safety but really it's another dog-whistle — because as we know, it’s Black and brown people are the most impacted by mass incarceration and our DAs who are working to transform this racist system.

Help us fight their fear-mongering today by making a donation to Real Justice. We have so much work to do in these final few weeks to protect vulnerable DAs and elect more to strengthen our fight.

In solidarity,

Real Justice
