----[previous message]----

Supporter,

As school bells are starting to ring around the country, we at People For
the American Way are gearing up for a crucial battle to protect the rights
of our children as they head back to school. We believe that every child
deserves the freedom to learn and explore, unburdened by censorship or
restrictions on their education.

[ [link removed] ]Your support today can have 2X the impact to protect our children from
right-wing MAGA extremists’ efforts to censor our nation’s classrooms and
libraries. >>

Our nation's schools have always been places of growth, discovery, and
intellectual curiosity. They are the breeding grounds for our future
leaders, thinkers, and innovators. But today, our educational system faces
an unprecedented threat - the erosion of academic freedom and the rise of
censorship from the Far Right within our classrooms.

“[T]he freedom to learn… is what makes us better citizens, better
voters, better able to stand up to against authoritarianism.”

– Svante Myrick, President, People For

In communities across the country – from Hanover, Virginia to Temecula,
California – we are witnessing efforts to stifle open and honest
discussions on vital topics, including history, social justice, and
equality. This censorship not only hampers the learning experience but
also undermines the values of free expression and critical thinking that
are the bedrock of our democracy.

[ [link removed] ]We refuse to stand by and let this happen. We are committed to ensuring
that every child has the opportunity to explore diverse perspectives,
engage in meaningful dialogue, and develop the critical thinking skills
necessary for success in today's world. But we can't do it alone.

That's where you come in. [ [link removed] ]Your support can make a profound difference
in our fight to protect our children's right to learn.

With your contribution, we can:

Advocate for Academic Freedom: We are working with communities like
Temecula, CA to protect the rights of teachers and students to discuss
important topics without fear of censorship or retaliation.

Mobilize Communities: We are engaging with parents, students, and
concerned citizens across the nation to build a powerful movement
dedicated to preserving our educational values. Our Grandparents For Truth
program is the first of its kind in the nation to mobilize grandparents to
fight for our children’s futures.

Hold Politicians Accountable: When politicians try to gain national
attention or score points by coming after our children’s education, we are
calling them out and bringing their actions to light—which is often an
important step in reversing or backing off decisions to censor our
children’s access to our history. We’ll continue fighting back against
Republican attempts to whitewash history, like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s
efforts to pressure the College Board to remove portions of the AP African
American Studies course that his administration deemed “controversial.”
After People For waged a large public pressure campaign, the College Board
reversed course and restored the curriculum that was eliminated.

Your donation today, no matter the size, will help us stand strong in the
face of censorship and protect the future of our children. Every dollar
brings us one step closer to our goal of ensuring that our schools remain
bastions of free thought and open discussion.

Thank you for your unwavering commitment to the principles of freedom,
education, and equality. Together, we can empower our children to become
informed, thoughtful, and engaged citizens who will shape a better future
for all.

With gratitude,

– People For the American Way

P.S. Your donation today will go TWICE as far with our dollar-for-dollar
match to help us safeguard the future of our children's education.
[ [link removed] ]Please don't wait; act now to protect their right to learn! >>
