Will you take a moment to let me unpack our critical races that are only 1 week away, John? I would really appreciate it.
With Election Day on November 8th, I’ve been thinking a lot about our 9 candidates in races across the country.
These are 9 HAND-PICKED prosecutors by senior leaders on our Real Justice team.
Leaders who have shown, through their experiences and past victories for their communities, that they will fight for their people AND reform our justice system from the ground up. No matter who is in their way.
If we had it our way, that commitment alone would push them over the finish line — but we know in reality they are up against some serious opposition.
And not just from their opponents, but also from outside groups and influence trying to take them down for their bold, civil rights-oriented agendas.
Agendas that include changing the bail system, freeing innocent incarcerated people, reducing sentences for petty crimes like marijuana possession, holding guilty cops accountable, and SO much more.
DAs we have helped elect have already made MASSIVE, lasting change that has benefited the people of their counties, and inspired others nationwide.
While news outlets may not always pay attention to these elections, this is LIFE-SAVING work.
John, everything we have accomplished so far has been because of people like you – stepping up and chipping in or volunteering here and there wherever and whenever you can.
You are fighting for a different kind of justice system. And you are an integral part of this work. We can’t win these races without you.
Love and appreciate you John,
Shaun
