Subject: Join us for a conversation with Manhattan DA Candidate Eliza Orlins
Dear Friends and Family,
As some of you may know, Eliza Orlins, my dear friend and former officemate at The Legal Aid Society, is running to be the next District Attorney of Manhattan. Not only is she a good friend, she is also the best candidate to be the progressive prosecutor that Manhattan needs. Because of this, my husband Geoff is working for her campaign on her policy team, and we're both doing all we can to get her message out. And so we are delighted to be hosting a Zoom event for her next Monday, July 6 at 8pm EST. If you’re getting this email it’s because you’re either a Manhattan voter, know Manhattan voters or care deeply about criminal justice reform in NYC and beyond.
On Monday, Eliza, Geoff, and I will be having a conversation about the role of a progressive prosecutor in bringing about meaningful criminal justice reform. We will also leave time for questions and discussion. We hope you’ll join us. To access the zoom link, please go here and contribute any amount, even $1.
For the uninitiated, here's a link to the campaign launch video and website. Eliza penned an op-ed that was published recently in the Washington Post. It's a timely reminder of why this race is so crucial for New York. Eliza is running for Manhattan District Attorney to reform a cruel and unjust criminal legal system. After a decade as a public defender, representing thousands of New Yorkers, she realized that if we want to change the system, we have to change the DA.
I hope that you'll be able to join us! Thea
