John, the 2022 election results have made it clear that running away from bail reform clearly is not the way to go.

Which is why we have been fighting so hard to elect District Attorneys who believe in and have bail reform as a part of their agenda. Can we count on you to contribute to our End of Year goal to continue our electoral work in 2023?

Bail reform has been successful and allowed tens of thousands of people to fight their charges while keeping their jobs and housing and supporting their loved ones.

It also costs taxpayers less because it means fewer people needlessly locked in jail. It helps EVERYONE.

And here’s the thing: there's also been no evidence that it's been linked with more crime, even as Republicans continue repeating this lie.

And we saw the consequences of not supporting bail reform on Election Day this year.

Instead of championing and defending these successful policies, Democrats in many areas including New York ran away from bail reform and echoed Republican lies.

Democrats who repeated this conservative fear-mongering lost their elections. 

Democrats who focused on the successes won their races.

But somehow, national Democrats are now claiming that bail reform is why Democrats lost in New York and lost their majority in the House — even as NYC remains one of the safest big cities in the country. 

It makes no sense at all.

But as explained by Scott Hechinger, civil rights attorney, and Dyjuan Tatro, legal reform advocate for NBC: "Democrats lost because they ran from the truth about bail reform, amplifying lies instead of championing what should have been their policy win. In short, they made themselves indistinguishable from Republicans on this topic."

But we intend to keep finding and supporting candidates who are going to use District Attorney offices to fight for and champion policies to make sure that people aren’t locked in jail simply because they are poor. Can you make sure we hit our End of Year goal and can keep up this critical work in 2023?
