[ [link removed] ]REPORT: Another Dangerous Term Begins at the Supreme Court
A new report out this week from People For highlights the rights and
protections that are on the line in the docket for the Supreme Court’s
next term, which is set to begin this coming Monday. The current 6-3
far-right majority will no doubt continue their efforts to turn back the
clock and upend decades of hard-won progress.

[ [link removed] ]A Critical Deadline ⏱️
Over the past year, thanks to your steadfast support, People For has
forcefully opposed the influences of the Far Right by advocating for
Truth, Justice, and the American Way.
Our fiscal year-end deadline is this Saturday, and we need your help to
finish strong. Every donation received before midnight Saturday will go
directly towards sustaining and expanding our vital work in the year
ahead: protecting the right to vote, holding MAGA Republicans accountable,
restoring integrity to the federal judiciary, and more.

[ [link removed] ]Right Wing Watch: Religious Right Leaders Demand Next GOP SCOTUS
Nominees Meet ‘Biblical Worldview’ Standard
Disturbing new reporting from our team at Right Wing Watch highlights how
religious-right activists, encouraged by the overturning of Roe, are
ramping up their efforts to make the Supreme Court even more conservative
than it is with its current 6-3 majority. Activists are delving deep into
the religious views, church attendance, and families of conservative
judges considered possible Supreme Court nominees under a future
Republican president, and making “red lists” of judges they deem
unacceptable.

[ [link removed] ]Push Back Against Book Banning with People For’s Banned Books Reading
Challenge
Book banning is on the rise, and authoritarian attacks on the freedom to
learn seem to be coming from all around us. People For has been actively
engaged in areas like Philadelphia, PA and Temecula, CA. In Temecula we
are directly countering extremist school board members who are wreaking
havoc on the school district and nationally we are fighting back against
book banning extremist Moms for Liberty who are behind many of the recent
censorship attacks. As we approach National Banned Books week 2023, we
want to give our members and friends one more way to get involved and make
their voices heard.

[ [link removed] ]Voting Rights on the Line: Five Reasons We Must Pass the John Lewis
Voting Rights Advancement Act
Last week the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (VRAA) was
reintroduced in Congress. The bill, named after the civil rights icon John
Lewis, will be critically important in confronting the rising tide of
recently enacted voter restrictions and rebuilding the robust voter
protections of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
This legislation gives us the opportunity to right historic wrongs and
help ensure everyone can exercise their right to vote. While the
legislation faces an uphill battle in the current Congress, we must
continue our calls for reform to be prepared for action in the next
Congress. Here are five reasons we must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights
Advancement Act and continue making progress on voting rights.

[ [link removed] ]Republicans Have Made It Clear: No State is Safe from Abortion Bans
Most Americans believe abortion should be legal in most cases. In every
state where voters have voted on the issue since the Supreme Court
overturned Roe v. Wade, voters have sided with reproductive freedom and
against abortion bans.
But the first Republican presidential debate made it clear that public
support for reproductive freedom will not stop Republican politicians from
kowtowing to the party’s anti-choice zealots calling for radical measures,
including a nationwide abortion ban.
