[ [link removed] ]‘People For’ Joins Celebration of March on Washington’s 60th
Anniversary
On Saturday, People For president, Svante Myrick, had the honor of
speaking at the 60th anniversary of the historic March on Washington.
Alongside Martin Luther King III, Mrs. Arndrea King, their daughter
Yolanda, Rev. Al Sharpton, and other civil rights and progressive leaders,
Svante called upon those in attendance and watching at home to continue
resisting far-right attempts to erase our history and erode our rights and
values. He emphasized that we all contribute to the cause in different
ways, but that no matter what we bring to the table, it all helps advance
our movement to strengthen the American Way for everyone.

[ [link removed] ]Norman Lear’s America
Over 40 years ago People For co-founder Norman Lear set out to defend the
American Way from the growing threat of far-right religious extremists and
their efforts to divide our nation through hatred and fear. As the same
threats are rebranded and repackaged by MAGA Republicans, Norman’s vision
for People For becomes even more important in the years ahead.
That’s why People For is proud to have launched a brand-new online store
that captures the vision that Norman set out to achieve all those years
ago: “that there is reason to believe in the future – not to despair of it
– and that we must strengthen the common cords that connect us as humans
and citizens.”
Show that you “Still Believe in Norman Lear's America” by purchasing a
t-shirt, mug, tote bag, or other item that features designs inspired by
the shows that Norman created and that helped shape a generation of
Americans to have greater compassion and understanding for one another.

[ [link removed] ]Republican Presidential Candidates Back Abortion Bans, Pledge to Vote
for Trump Even if Convicted
Last week’s Republican presidential debate highlighted the ongoing hold
that former President Donald Trump still has over the party and the
presidential race. Most of the eight candidates who took the stage that
night said they would support the twice-impeached and four times-indicted
Trump even if he was found guilty of the charges against him. Perhaps even
more troubling, many of the candidates appeared eager to advance the
extreme and unpopular agenda the Republican Party has been pushing for
years – including a nationwide abortion ban and attacks on other rights
and freedoms.

reproductive freedom: [ [link removed] ]“Republicans Have Made It Clear, No State is Safe
