Hello My Friend,

Mass incarceration, at its core, at its root, aims to completely destroy Black families and Black communities. This is our chance to fight back in the most practical way.

Today I have a very special and very URGENT request, OK?

Imagine for a moment being a married mother with a house full of young kids. And you run a wonderful doggy care with your husband that pays the bills.

Now imagine your husband gets arrested for a murder that HE DID NOT COMMIT. He had NOTHING to do with it.

And it goes to trial.

And you spend EVERY penny of savings.

Max out every credit card.

Take out loans.

Just to beat the case.

And it comes back as a hung jury…which seems like a victory!

Your husband is now free and it looks like you will have your family and your life back. Only for the DA to decide to try the whole case again.

But your savings is gone.

Your credit cards are maxed out.

You’ve taken out every possible loan.

And your business is barely hanging on by a thread.

That’s exactly what happened to Chris & Traci Kearney.

Our team @ Grassroots Law raised money to pay for his legal bills.

After sitting in jail for years for the first case, then effectively winning, Chris has now been back in the local jail again for years awaiting trial.

You have no idea the toll that this has had on Traci and their young kids.

I don’t have any other way to say this, but if we don’t help Traci and the kids out, they are about to lose everything.

Their business, their home, everything.

I need us to PLEASE step up and chip in to make sure this doesn’t happen, OK?

100% of what you give will go to Traci and her kids.

Here’s the link.

Can you PLEASE chip in today?

Thank you so very your much.

Love and appreciate each of you!

Shaun

You must encounter situations like this one all the time. I'm wondering how you chose this one to single out for a public appeal through The North Star? (This is not a criticism.)
