to me
Peter,
In 2017, DFA members helped elect Larry Krasner, an absolutely transformational leader to Philadelphia's District Attorney’s office.
As one of the first truly progressive District Attorney’s of a major American city, Krasner has reformed sentencing guidelines and eliminated the use of cash bail in many cases.
He has placed his focus on fighting for stronger rehabilitative services, working with community activists, and fundamentally shifting away from punishment and towards rehabilitation.
A civil rights lawyer with a track record of successfully holding the police accountable, Larry Krasner is one of the most prolific and important figures in the criminal justice movement.
That’s why I’m excited to invite you to join DFA for a conversation with Larry Krasner as we discuss his book, For the People: A Story of Justice and Power and his inspiring vision of how people can take back power to establish justice.
RSVP NOW
On the call, you'll hear from Larry himself on what his experience has taught him about what it will take to tackle the biggest problems we face in overhauling criminal justice in America.
DFA members are on the front lines in the fight for criminal justice and our strategy of fighting city by city electing transformational criminal justice champions works.
If you're excited about the work we have ahead, you can help build the infrastructure we need to elect more criminal justice champions by learning from Larry himself about what we should do to solve the biggest problems facing us.
So, whether you've already read the book or haven't and just want to learn more about criminal justice in America, please join us on October 14th at 6:30 pm ET to be a part of the conversation.
Thanks for signing up -- I can't wait to meet with you on Thursday, October 14th!
RSVP NOW
— Molly
