A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

PFAW Member,

First and foremost, THANK YOU.

Thanks to the 10,592 PFAW members who donated online in the month of
March, we made our first quarter goal of 2020 … and that’s incredibly
important during this challenging time, because American democracy is on
the line.

Our democracy can survive one term of Trump. Our democracy can survive the
coronavirus pandemic. And we’re fighting like hell to make sure that our
democracy survives Trump Republicans’ disastrous failure of leadership and
opportunistic impulses for power grabs during this crisis. But it’s highly
doubtful our democracy can withstand all of these threats compounded by a
second Trump term and the continuation of Trump Republicans holding
majorities in institutions like the U.S. Senate.

During this public health crisis, PFAW is delivering unique value to our
supporters and progressives across the country with our
best-in-the-business coverage of Trumpism and the Far Right at PFAW’s
Right Wing Watch.

Our team of reporters is hard at work all day, every day, [ [link removed] ]exposing the
conspiracy theories and disinformation spewing from the right-wing fever
swamp and Republican Party leaders alike – including Donald Trump, members
of his administration, congressional lawmakers, and GOP governors who deny
science and endanger their constituents in order to show their loyalty to
Trump.

This work is absolutely vital, especially at a time when the truth can
save lives and rampant disinformation can cost them. The current pandemic
is bringing into sharp focus just how dangerous the Right’s propagation of
false narratives and conspiracy theories can be.

Anthony Fauci – the nation’s leading expert on infectious diseases who has
served six presidents of both parties and is arguably the most trusted
voice in America right now on the coronavirus pandemic – is now facing
DEATH THREATS from the Right Wing thanks to social media conspiracy
theories and headlines like the one from the right-wing American Thinker
that referred to Fauci as a “Deep-State Hillary Clinton-loving stooge.”

Besides tracking and exposing the [ [link removed] ]Right’s response to and exploitation
of this crisis, PFAW is hard at work to ensure that the vulnerable
communities and individuals who will bear a disproportionate brunt of the
health and economic impacts of this crisis are not left behind in the
government’s response. That includes making sure the people who need the
most relief get it, making sure people are counted in the 2020 census, and
making sure that precious resources appropriated by Congress aren’t
squandered by Republicans with corporate kickbacks and corrupt
self-dealing.

And, perhaps most importantly, we’re fighting to ensure that voters are
able to cast ballots in the 2020 election and that their votes are secure
and counted. That includes expanding options for voters to cast ballots by
mail, efforts to combat voter suppression on all fronts, and policies that
allow for equitable ballot access for all communities – including those
that have been traditionally disenfranchised and those that have unique
challenges with vote-by-mail.

Then, of course, there’s the work we’ve always done and that we’re still
doing to support progressive candidates, fight Trump and Senate
Republican’s all out assault on our federal courts, and defeat Trump
Republicans up and down the ballot. Election Day is still coming and, as
hard as it was to imagine that the stakes could get even higher for this
year’s election, they now have gotten higher, without question.

NONE of this work could happen without the support of our members like
you, friend. Your continued support and activism have never been
more critical to the future of our country and the survival of our
democracy.

Thank you so much for everything. Stay safe, stay healthy, and keep
fighting.

Best,

Michael Keegan, President
