For just a second, I want you to close your eyes and imagine what it would be like to be imprisoned for 22 years.
Really take a moment and think hard about it.
Pretty horrifying, right?
22 years is how long this man below, Jermaine Hudson of Louisiana, stayed in prison for a crime he never committed. The whole thing was fabricated by his accuser.
FOR YEARS, Jermaine had tried to tell his story and appeal the conviction, but the former DA of Orleans Parish REFUSED to listen and was known for openly fighting against recanting witnesses in multiple cases.
This past March — thanks to the work of newly elected Orleans Parish DA Jason Williams — Jermaine was finally able to walk free.
This is why the work to elect new DAs who understand the systemic inequalities of our criminal justice system matters SO much.
Let me be clear.
If Jason hadn’t been elected, Jermaine would most likely STILL be in prison serving a sentence for a crime he never committed. The work to elect DAs like Jason Williams changes LIVES. And we must continue the fight to make sure this work continues.
That’s where you come in. The contributions of grassroots supporters have helped make what we’ve done at Real Justice POSSIBLE. Make a donation today and help elect more people like Jason Williams into DA offices across the country.
This work is difficult.
EXTREMELY difficult.
Every time we take on the corrupt, racist criminal justice system, we know we will be attacked by the people inside that system. That’s why we need to elect people who will fundamentally CHANGE that system. And I’m so grateful that you’re a part of this fight.
Thank you for everything you’re doing,
