They have $650,000...

Huge news just dropped: the Republican recall campaign against San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin has raised over $650,000. Without your financial help it will be nearly impossible to beat them. Contributions from supporters like you can help us do the deep organizing work it takes …

Seemed like a good reason to ask

If you’ve ever wondered why we raise money via email like this John, here’s the reason: because grassroots donations are worth more to us than big checks from foundations. Our goal is to build a movement. We want a team, because teams are stronger than individuals. We can call on each other t…

Time is running out to defend these life-saving policies

John — this week San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin took a huge step towards real public safety and public health — and we urgently need your help to defend this amazing progress against the dangerous recall effort threatening to stop it. Chesa and a panel of experts including Calif…

What happens when you have their attention

John, Here’s an understatement: our progressive prosecutors are getting a lot of attention. Wherever Real Justice DAs run, establishment politicians, police unions, and their wealthy and well-connected backers panic. They run candidates against us. They start up PACs and Super PACs. When…

Cop unions and their establishment backers

John, Since its inception in 2017, Real Justice has seen a lot of success. We’ve elected over a dozen incredible DAs that are transforming justice for their communities. Whether it’s redirecting resources, releasing the innocent for unjust sentences, or ending the corruption and protec…

A historic move in Massachusetts

John, This is HUGE! Joe Biden has nominated Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollings for US Attorney of Massachusetts. As Suffolk DA, Rachael has worked so hard to end mass incarceration, free wrongfully convicted people, and hold police accountable. And if confirmed to this role, sh…

What keeps our enemies up at night

John, we’re seeing a MASSIVE backlash from police unions and right wing PACS against our movement to elect progressive prosecutors. Here’s a few reasons why: Police officers and judges are used to facing ZERO recourse for wrongfully imprisoning innocent people. So these victories from our …

Over halfway to our goal...

John, there are less than three weeks left in our campaign to stop the dangerous recall effort of San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin and protect critical justice initiatives he’s put in place. That is why today we are announcing an ambitious goal to call 400,000 voters before August…

This is a pattern

John, in just 21 days, the dangerous recall effort targeting Chesa Boudin faces the deadline to turn in 51,325 valid signatures – which would trigger a recall election. We can’t let them succeed. The recall election would attempt to overturn a free and fair election, cost taxpayers at least a…

One of the most corrupt politicians in America

America has simply never had an Attorney General like Lee Merritt — in any state, at any time. Lee knows firsthand the impacts of our justice system: his dad was incarcerated when Lee was just a kid, and both of his brothers have been labeled as felons. He’s worked for years on the frontlines…

John, on an email like this one, our average online donation is exactly $17.80. We’ll be honest: on its own, that’s not much against the systematic injustice we’re facing (and the mountains of money our opponents spend to stop our work). But taken together, it adds up. And more importantly, …
