Shaun King Forms PAC to Elect Progressive Prosecutors

Shaun King announced Thursday that he and five other activists are co-founding a political action committee to help elect progressive attorneys at the county and city levels. The Real Justice PAC -- led by King, Héctor Sigala, Karthik Ganapathy,Becky Bond, Michael Kieschnick, and Zack Malitz -- plans to spend upward of $1 million to support campaigns by progressives running for district attorney in 2018. “No position in America, no single individual has a bigger impact on the criminal justice system ― including police brutality, but the whole crisis of mass incarceration in general ― than your local district attorney,” King said. “They are the gatekeepers of America’s justice system.” More here.
