<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nLocal prosecutors have incredible power in our justice systems. They decide whether to charge and prosecute cases. When a person is found guilty, they recommend a sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But right now, the majority of prosecutors in America are white and funded by police groups<\/strong>. We\u2019re changing that, but we can\u2019t do it without you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Real Justice has helped many local prosecutors win their races now, but each victory is hard-fought. We\u2019re only able to do it with the help of a national network of people like you who donate or volunteer. On top of mobilizing donors and volunteers, Real Justice also contributes to races directly to help campaigns contact more voters, identifies opportunities to oust bad prosecutors, and does the work of recruiting good ones \u2013 especially public defenders \u2013 to run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once these prosecutors are elected, the fight isn\u2019t over. Powerful actors who will do anything to maintain the racist status quo are constantly attacking the authority of these new, transformative leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s celebrate this victory, and then keep fighting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
