BREAKING: Recall effort allegedly reaches signature threshold to qualify for ballot

 

We're alerting Democrats about progressive Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gasćon who is currently facing a Republican recall effort. To learn more about George, visit our website here. To help George defeat the Republican recall effort, chip in here. Friend, the recall effort is getting real. Yesterday, the GOP-funded effort to subvert the democratic process and stop the criminal justice reform movement in its tracks claimed they have the 567,000 signatures needed to qualify for the November ballot. This is a significant development, and given what happened in San Francisco last week, with D.A. Chesa Boudin getting ousted after having been outspent 3 to 1, we need to take this threat very seriously. I am sick and tired of Republican mega-donors thinking they can circumvent the democratic process to stop our movement just because they cannot win elections on their own. We need a show of strength. So today, I’m asking you to contribute $20 or more to my campaign to help me continue fighting for an L.A. that is safe and just. I want to make clear that we don’t know for sure that the recall effort has enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot (it’s very typical for many signatures to be invalidated) -- but we are treating this threat with the seriousness it deserves. The recall effort has said they would reverse the policies you and I care about -- policies like ending the death penalty, holding cops accountable, ending cash bail, and preventing innocent people from languishing behind bars. The right-wing “lock-em-up” approach to criminal justice does not make our communities safer. On the contrary, we know that this approach only serves to further entrench the cycle of crime and violence. If the recall qualifies for the ballot, they’ll spend millions to spread misinformation about our movement, and use fear to scare citizens into reversing our progress. We can’t let that happen. Please support our movement today if you can, and help me continue in the fight to reform our criminal justice system. Thanks for reading,  George Gascón District Attorney, Los Angeles County P.S. If you can't donate, please consider adding your name today to reject the recall and make clear that you're against the right wing plot to take over our city.    CONTRIBUTE »   Paid For By Crime Survivors, Law Enforcement, and Community Leaders Against the Republican Led Recall of George Gascón.
