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

***********************

PFAW Member,

With just hours left until our April deadline we’re still $13,777 behind
our overall funding budget, and here’s why that’s terrible news:

More than any other crisis of the Trump era – and there have been many –
the coronavirus pandemic has put into stark contrast the urgency of
getting Trump, Mitch McConnell, and Trump’s other Republican enablers THE
HELL OUT OF OFFICE.

Americans are dying because of their lies, incompetence, and misplaced
priorities.

Trump Republicans continue to put corporate profits over people’s lives …
political vendettas ahead of the public health … power grabs in front of
voters’ right to cast a ballot and actually elect their leaders.

Our 2020 electoral programs have adapted – and are still adapting – but
they are still going full swing, and in some cases, are becoming even more
resource-intensive.

Instead of just reaching voters and mobilizing volunteers to make calls
and knock on doors, it’s now even more important that we educate people
about how they can access voting with vote by mail, early voting, and
other solutions. We now need to train volunteers and activists on new
methods of digital voter contact. And we need to fight, more ferociously
than ever, on Capitol Hill and in the states, for the resources to secure
our elections and against right-wing efforts to suppress the vote.

This work demands the support of Americans who are committed to saving our
democracy and, yes, financial support is a big part of that.

with an urgent renewal donation to hold Trump Republicans accountable and
defeat them up and down the ballot?



Mitch McConnell is fighting  against state and local governments getting
federal relief to save the jobs of teachers, firefighters, police,
sanitation workers, and others. In his view – and in his own words –
states should instead go bankrupt, which would cost tens of thousands of
Americans their jobs, and force states to dissolve pensions and end vital
services that are even more important as families and communities struggle
through this crisis.

Trump and McConnell also want to tie state relief funding to giving
immunity to companies that endanger their workers and the public by
re-opening too early, against the advice of public health experts and
scientists.

Meanwhile, the ultra-wealthy and Big Business – especially in sectors like
real estate and hedge funds – are seeing massive windfalls from the GOP’s
so-called “tax-relief” provisions in emergency legislation … and the $500
billion in loans to big corporations from the Fed doesn’t have any of the
same strings attached as congressional appropriations, requiring companies
to use the money to preserve jobs and not simply use it as a free
financial windfall for executives and shareholders.

Now, Trump, never missing a chance to attack immigrants, is also talking
about tying aid to the states to their willingness to adopt his position
against sanctuary cities!

It’s cruel and it’s stupid. And it needs to stop.

And the only way to stop them is to beat them.

And for that to happen, quite simply put, we need to make our budgets and
fund our work in full. And for that we need you, our amazing, dedicated
members.

fight.

Onward,
