We have an opportunity to bring people home

 


Real Justice


I am so grateful for every single person who has contributed, volunteered, showed up in their communities, and made a difference.

But, there is something that’s been heavy on my heart, and it’s part of why I am so committed to what we do at Real Justice. I hope you’ll hear me out, ok?

This holiday season, there are thousands of people who will not be able to see their loved ones because they are incarcerated.

Because of mass incarceration, they won’t be sitting down at the dinner table. They won’t be joining in the holiday festivities. They may not even be able to CALL or SEE their loved ones.

Antonio, it’s heartbreaking. It’s deeply wrong.

And here’s the thing.

By electing progressive justice champions who understand the harm of mass incarceration and are committed to doing everything in their power to ending it, we have an opportunity to change that reality.

While we won’t ever repair the full pain caused by this horrible system, we can bring an end to the hurt from the separation of mass incarceration.

We can help bring people home to their families and loved ones.

We’ve already seen this happen with the change-makers that we have elected together.

Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx has moved to vacate more than 114 convictions since she took office.

Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams has been working to free people who have been incarcerated for over FIVE DECADES due to incredibly racist laws.

The work we do is life-changing.

With your help, families have been reunited. People have been able to go home. I can never overstate how incredible that is.

This team has stepped up in such huge ways in the past. I need you with us more than ever before today ends.

Love and appreciate you,

Shaun
