Deeply proud

 

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 your first contribution. Before midnight on Sunday if you can.

Now let me back up and explain some things.

I am a little embarrassed by this, but moving forward I want to explicitly tell you the stories of our accomplishments.

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

Real Justice has now elected about 25 District Attorneys across the country. Most of them would tell you that our support had everything to do with 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 2,300 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 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.

Now our District Attorneys have single-handedly reduced the number of incarcerated people like nothing we’ve ever seen in American history – sometimes by 30% to 50% in a single term.

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

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

Take care,

Shaun
