John, I am deeply proud of the work we’re doing here at Real Justice together – but I need your help to keep it going with a personal contribution. 

Before midnight tonight if you can.

If you’re short on time and ready to give right now, please do that here, OK?

Now let me rewind and explain.

I am a little embarrassed by this, but I don’t think we as a whole reflect on our accomplishments enough.

I have realized that if we don’t share those accomplishments, they will be erased.

So let’s do that now. Together.

Real Justice has now elected about 35 District Attorneys and other local leaders across the country. Most of them would tell you that our support played a big role in them getting elected.

But our support doesn’t stop once the election is won.

We partner with them.

Do the hard work of holding them accountable.

Defend their work against attacks from every angle.

So they can continue doing their work:

They are exonerating those who’ve been wrongly convicted. They are finding ways to decriminalize poverty and mental health and substance abuse. Pushing forward bold policies. Holding police accountable. And so much more.

There are about 2,400 District Attorneys across the country. They oversee 90% of all incarcerated people. But it’s only less than 150 District Attorneys that oversee nearly half of all incarcerated people. 

We strategically plan our races based on where we can make the most impact. 

We target horrible district attorneys in the largest cities and fight to replace them with compassionate thought-leaders who understand that the systems of mass incarceration and policing were designed to cause harm.

That’s why we are SO effective. And the results speak for themselves.

Our District Attorneys have single-handedly reduced the number of incarcerated people like nothing we’ve ever seen in American history – sometimes by up to 50% in a single term.

Moving forward, I am going to uplift these success stories. I hope you don’t mind. For now I need you to ask if you can support this work:

Real Justice is up against our year-end budget deadline at midnight TONIGHT – and we’re still short of our goal. Please pitch in here, OK? We’re counting on you.

Thanks to everyone who has ever supported us. Our Real Justice candidates and elected DAs appreciate it so much.

Take care,

Shaun
