PFAW Member, We’re watching the Right Wing very closely – as we always do, with PFAW’s Right Wing Watch – and the trends we’re seeing from the Trump administration and its Republican allies amidst this global health crisis are beyond disturbing. Conspiracy theories and dangerous disinformation from the Right have exploded, which, unfortunately, is not unexpected. But what’s arguably just as dangerous – especially over the long term – is the naked opportunism we’re seeing from right-wing officials, from Trump all the way on down.
And the list continues to grow… If they are able to get away with these infringements on the rights and interests of the public, does anyone really think they’ll reinstate the protections they’re now trying to deny without a fight? We need to fight back to stop the erosion of our liberties during this crisis and continue our push to hold Trump Republicans accountable by defeating them up and down the ballot. Are you with us? If so, then we need you to help us finish the first quarter of 2020 strong with a critically urgent donation before tonight’s deadline. We’re $17,008 short of our budget with just hours to go and we’re depending on our best supporters to step up today. In these uncertain times, falling behind now could doom our work for the rest of the year and we can’t afford to miss a beat – if we fall short, Trump and the Far Right win. It’s that simple. And there is so. Much. Work. To. Do. All of the exploitation of this crisis by the Right that we’re seeing so far is bound to get worse, so we need your help to keep sounding the alarm. And, of course, the Trump administration – mostly through the Treasury Department, headed by Trump lackey Steve Mnuchin – will be in charge of dispersing the half a trillion dollars to corporations that Congress just authorized with its coronavirus relief legislation … so we need to be extra vigilant in making sure the Trump administration doesn’t use that money for corrupt corporate kickbacks and shameless self-enrichment. Even though the nature of our field operations have changed, the campaigns all continue … we’re still influencing media narratives, planning ads, and employing the latest digital organizing tools to continue to counter the Right and have a massive impact in this year’s elections. Today is our biggest deadline of the year so far and we’re pleading with you to stand with us during this challenging time. We’ve never needed your steadfast support more than we do right now. Please donate whatever you can immediately so we can continue the fight to our democracy>> Thank you so much for your support and everything you do. Stay safe, Michael Keegan, President
