Make calls: Help us create compassionate justice!

John, this week, San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin received life changing news that shows firsthand the power that a redemption focused, compassionate justice system could have: after forty years in prison his father David Gilbert’s sentence was commuted. Chesa grew up with both p…

He might still be in prison today

John, I know I just reached out about this last week, but I can’t get it out of my head. It’s infuriating. It’s also a reminder of how important the work we’re doing is. Because without the leadership of DA Larry Krasner and his Conviction Integrity Unit, Arthur Johnson — who was just freed a…

Guess the percentage of thefts solved by SF PD

John — check out this statistic about the San Francisco Police Department: The San Francisco Police Department only solves 3% of theft cases. There’s a clear message here that recall campaigners don’t want you to know: Police are not effective at stopping crime. They need to be held accounta…

Who’s funding the second recall?

John, if you follow the money, you will see who the real corrupt interests are attempting to oust justice-minded District Attorney Chesa Boudin. That is why below, we will introduce you to Neighbors for a Better San Francisco – a PAC that’s funding this second, more dangerous recall campaign.…

37 years of torture

John, This is a long story but I NEED you to read the whole thing. On one hand, it’s infuriating. On the other, it’s a reminder of why I’m always so proud of the work our team does. The man in this photo is Arthur "Cetewayo" Johnson. Arthur spent 50 years in prison after being wrongfully conv…

SF GOP endorsed the second recall

John, please don’t let your guard down. John, please don’t drop your guard. Right now, paid canvassers who are part of the SECOND recall campaign against District Attorney Chesa Boudin are out nearly every single day using shady tactics and misinformation to persuade San Francisco voters to si…

The final day to stop this recall

Undisclosed millionaires are trying to sabotage our movement

We’ve been sounding the alarm on the blowback to our movement for a few months now. But the attacks have just reached a new high, John.  A new right-wing group — backed by anonymous millionaires and billionaires — launched a $500,000 effort this week to recall two of our elected DA’s in Virgi…
