We could go on for pages

This is the real work we are doing on the ground, the DAs we are working to elect, and the work they are doing on the ground to directly help the people in their communities. John, we wanted to show you a few accomplishments you helped make a reality just in the past couple months: Helped def…

This is the disturbing reason we need to end mass incarceration

He looks near-death. This is a BLATANT human rights violation. And it’s exactly the kind of horror we see from mass incarceration that we are fighting against here at Real Justice. John, did you hear about this? Kastellio Vaughan, a person incarcerated at Elmore Correctional Facility in Alabam…

This is why they hate this movement

This is the first cop EVER convicted for a murder in the entire history of the city of Philadelphia. I can’t understate how big this news is: John, this is the first cop EVER convicted for a murder in the entire history of the city of Philadelphia. And it was Real Justice DA Larry Krasner wh…

How we operate

We wanted to find ways to support those races and elect folks that are bold justice-minded prosecutors to work on the ground. It’s a nationwide effort that we are taking on together. John, I wanted to give you a rundown of how and why we do what we do here at Real Justice. If you know how we …

What we’re worried about most now

We can’t let this happen again. We refuse to see accountable, capable, and justice-minded DAs we helped elect get attacked like this. John, this week we announced our End of Quarter goal to hit $75,000, and currently we are still $17,876 away.  And unfortunately we know exactly what can happe…

Let us tell you why these are HUGE races

This about showing that this movement has what it takes to WIN in this post-Roe world. John, these races are going to have national ripple effects. In Texas, we have thrown our support behind two critical DA races — John Cruezot in Dallas and Joe Gonzales in San Antonio. We know we’ve told y…

We didn't pull our goal out of thin air. Let us explain:

We don’t want to have to revisit our plans for the rest of the year to pick and choose which DA races we can get involved in. John, we only have 7 hours left before our big End of Month deadline at  midnight tonight — and right now we are less than $2,500 away!!! We didn't pull our goal — $25…

Who will be there to protect the people?

Texas abortion providers now face up to life in prison and can be charged $100,000

This is absolutely HORRIFYING. John, we are seeing trigger laws take affect in anti-abortion controlled states — and Texas just dropped a major one TODAY affecting providers: This is absolutely HORRIFYING. And it’s why we are working so hard to make sure that we re-elect our bold pro-civil r…

Standing on the sidelines is not an option

One state we are particularly concerned for is Texas. John, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis suspended a prosecutor, Andrew Warren, earlier this month solely due to his refusal to prosecute women for abortion crimes. The prosecutor who replaced him, Susan Lopez, is a NIGHTMARE. She’s ready to j…

This is what makes me the most angry

A recall campaign began against DA George Gascón in Los Angeles — and this week they FAILED. MISERABLY. John, After Chesa Boudin’s recall in San Francisco, we have been on high alert for our other District Attorneys who could be targeted next by billionaires, Republicans, or even moderate Dem…

“There is so much more at stake here than my job.”

If successful, DeSantis will have to throw out his executive order suspending Warren, and prevent future governors from doing the same. John, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis suspended Tampa’s State Attorney Andrew Warren because he stated that he would not use the resources of his office to pr…

If we don’t speak out about this, more governors will follow. I can guarantee it. Hey John, I want to make sure you saw this email from our team on Ron DeSantis’ sketchy move to suspend a local prosecutor who wouldn’t follow his agenda. Let's be clear: State Attorney Andrew Warren was democra…

She made fake promises and is putting the city as risk

When the new SF DA was appointed, she reassured current prosecutors in the DA’s office, like Ryan, that her goal was to “unite the office” — and then she fired 15 people right off the bat. Ryan Khojasteh, one of the dedicated prosecutors that Chesa Boudin hired, spoke to the San Francisco Chr…

FL Governor suspended Tampa’s State Attorney

We need to fight back and make it clear that this is a BLATANT abuse of power. John, this was at the TOP of CNN’s website this week. It’s THAT urgent. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis suspended Tampa’s State Attorney Andrew Warren. Why? Because Warren has stated that he would not use the resour…

I know that one of the best ways we can help, and ensure physicians can continue to give life-saving procedures like this abortion, is by electing and protecting strong-willed, pro-choice DAs ready to fight for them. John, the shocking story made national news this month. It’s disturbing, and…
