Starting something new

 

Hey, today we want to start something new – a monthly report back about what we are accomplishing together as a movement.

Here’s why: we always want you to know how much we can accomplish together, and hold our staff and leadership accountable to you, the people who make all of this work possible. 

Here’s what we accomplished together in July: 

We raised $77,855 from nearly 3,000 grassroots donors for Lee Merritt’s campaign for Texas Attorney General. This means Lee will be off to a strong start, and able to start contacting voters now in his campaign to transform the Texas justice system. 

We also endorsed DA candidates in Manhattan and Santa Clara — two incredible champions who will make their offices work for real justice for all who interact with them. 

The DAs we’ve helped elect dug in to make real change. 

Thanks to the bold leadership of San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin and State Senator Sydney Kamlager, California just made it easier to hold police accountable. ⁠They passed AB 127, a historic bill that allows DAs to pursue charges against police who break the law, even when other officers refuse to assist. ⁠(This is just one more reason we made 300,000 phone calls to San Franciscans asking them to stand with Chesa, and stop the cop union’s recall campaign.)

In Texas, ​​Bexar County DA Joe Gonzales is working to exonerate 3 people who were wrongly convicted based on evidence planted by a police informant, and a new study showed that Dallas County DA John Creuzot’s decision to stop prosecuting people for marijuana possession in 2019 has led to fewer arrests and thousands kept out of the carceral system.

Philly DA Larry Krasner's office awarded grants to three community organizations who are working on violence prevention and started a youth restorative justice program that focuses on accountability while keeping young people out of the carceral system.⁠

In Massachusetts, Suffolk County DA Rachael Rollins — who was recently nominated by President Biden to serve as Massachusetts’ U.S. Attorney — has worked to overturn thousands of convictions linked to the Boston drug testing lab where Annie Dookhan and Sonja Farak spent years falsifying drug analyses.

Our team is dedicated to winning the change we need to end police violence, and provide every single person the true safety they deserve. Thank you for being a part of this team with us.
