Let’s keep this good news going

We wanted to make sure you didn’t miss all this news. 

Last month, Real Justice-backed Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg threw out 188 misdemeanor convictions, with most of these cases involving young Black men who had their lives RUINED by dishonest officers.

​​These misdemeanors were tied to eight former NYPD officers who abused their power and have themselves been convicted for perjury, selling drugs, and performing illegal searches.

This is why we do this work to elect DAs like Alvin who work to right the wrongs of our racist system of mass incarceration.

In the case we highlighted earlier this year, we are seeing some justice!

Former San Antonio Officer James Brennand shot an innocent 17-year-old named Erik Cantu in a McDonald’s parking lot.

Officer Brennand has now been indicted on two counts of aggravated assault and one count of attempted murder.

If we didn’t go ALL OUT to re-elect San Antonio DA Joe Gonzales earlier this year, Brennand could very well have gotten away with this and Cantu’s charges may have not been dropped. 

We need to share this kind of work with you to show how powerful your involvement in this work is.

Every time you speak out and act with us, every time you donate, every time you call an elected official or sign a petition.

You are helping pack on the pressure to get results like what we saw in San Antonio, holding guilty cops accountable.

You’re helping elect leaders like Alvin Bragg and Joe Gonzales who are going to change people’s lives and bring them justice. 

And now we need your help to continue our work in this beginning stage of our 2023 work, as we prepare to identify more justice-minded prosecutors to support so we can continue sharing this kind of news. Help fund that work by making a donation today!

DA Joe Gonzales is making sure this guilty cop is prosecuted and charged

 

This is what we can see nationwide if we elect more District Attorneys.

In San Antonio, a police officer shot a defenseless, unarmed 17-year-old boy eating at a McDonald’s parking lot. Point blank.

And instead of the officer getting away with it, DA Joe Gonzales is making sure he is prosecuted and charged. And he dropped all charges against the 17-year-old.

He is holding police accountable — and we could make that a standard EVERYWHERE.

Situations like this make it clear why we need ALL HANDS ON DECK to support Joe in his re-election against a Republican opponent who has made it clear that he won’t hold police accountable.

We also have 8 other critical elections coming up — and with your help, we could elect more dedicated, community-focused leaders — not DAs who will bend to police unions and department pressure.

We need your help to go all out to re-elect Joe and also get out the vote and provide strategic support to ALL of our candidates to elect more DAs like Joe this November. Can you split a donation RIGHT NOW between Joe and Real Justice?

Here’s what Joe had to say:

“While Sunday’s shooting of an unarmed teenager by a then-San Antonio Police officer remains under investigation, the facts and evidence we have received so far led us to reject the charges against Erik Cantu for further investigation.” 

This is what we need to see across this country: DAs who finally see clearly the facts behind police shootings and take the necessary measures — no clouded perspectives, no letting cops off easy. Only holding police accountable when they use their position of power to take advantage of our communities and hurt others.

This can be a reality where you live. When we elect these DAs in November, it won’t just be the cities they represent that are affected. Their influence will inspire more DAs to take a stand and finally remain on the side of the people.

Together we can elect more Joe’s. Make a split donation right now to power our final Get Out The Vote efforts for Joe and also help us hit the ground running to get 8 more DA candidates elected in a few short weeks.

In solidarity,

Real Justice
