Do you despise the state of mass incarceration in this country, but don't know what to do about it?
I have something our @RealJusticePAC team could REALLY use your help with today....

1. We're dealing with a complicated legal situation with one of our Real Justice candidates, Mark Haase, who is running for DA in Minneapolis -- and I need you all to step up and support his campaign directly. I'll explain more in the thread.https://secure.actblue.com/donate/realjustice-ul-markhaase?refcode=tw …

2. I love @Haase4Hennepin. Already, he’s led the charge to Ban the Box, restore voting rights for former offenders, & change drug sentencing and juvenile records laws. If elected, Mark will serve as a leading example for prosecutors across the country.https://secure.actblue.com/donate/realjustice-ul-markhaase?refcode=tw …

3. Because of local laws, we’re limited on what we can spend at Real Justice to elect @Haase4Hennepin. So nearly everything we do for their campaign -- like texting voters or running ads -- needs to be paid for out of Mark’s campaign account.https://secure.actblue.com/donate/realjustice-ul-markhaase?refcode=tw …

4. As you can imagine, it isn’t easy to raise money when you’re running for District Attorney on a reform-minded platform. So I'm asking you to contribute directly to Mark Haase’s campaign account, using this page, to help us get out the vote:https://secure.actblue.com/donate/realjustice-ul-markhaase?refcode=tw …

The Atlantic has reported on the unforeseen negative impacts of ban the box initiatives. Studies show it hurts applicants of color because of racial bias amongst those hiring. I’ll vote for Mark in Nov, but I hope these studies have been considered before banning the box.

MN has already banned the box & we are so much better off for it. I work in employment. By banning the box employers look at the PERSON & their SKILLS that they can contribute to the JOB & not dismissed because of something they did as a teenager.

Employers are getting the BEST PERSON for the job and PEOPLE are getting the opportunities to get jobs that they EARNED & deserve to support themselves & their family. Not on welfare, not costing tax prayers money in jail, not committing crime. Proud. Working. Tax payers.

This does not mean that there are no background checks. There are still DHS required checks for those working with kids or vulnerable adults.
