Last term the 6-3 Supreme Court majority made possible by Donald Trump and Senate Republicans made clear that they are a corrupt majority on steroids. They made far-reaching, damaging changes to the law that have weakened our democracy and endangered our lives.
This October, the MAGA Court will be back for another term. So far, they have announced nearly 30 cases they are expected to decide by the end of June 2025. These cases will result in opinions that will impact our environment, civil rights, gun violence, and more.

We’re just 35 days away from Election Day, and the stakes continue to climb. President Trump and J.D. Vance are pushing an agenda that threatens our freedoms, spreads dangerous misinformation, and undermines the very core of our democracy. They want to roll back the progress we've made and put power back in the hands of the ultra-wealthy and extreme right-wing interests. To stop them, we need to elect progressives up and down the ticket who will protect our freedoms, stand up for working families, and fight for the future we all deserve.
Your contribution today will be matched, meaning every dollar provides twice the power in our effort to defeat Trump, Vance, and their dangerous allies. Together, we can fund vital voter outreach, support grassroots efforts, and ensure progressive candidates have the resources they need to win. With national polling demonstrating a razor thin margin between Harris and Trump, every contribution will be vital in helping People For drive voter turnout in key states across the country. Don’t wait—this match expires soon, and the clock is ticking on our opportunity to secure victories nationwide!
Please, chip in whatever you can today and let’s make sure we’re ready to win on Election Day. >>

This Month
Vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance has spent his short career in politics soaking in and promoting anti-democratic ideas. It is terrifying that he could become vice president to Donald Trump, the oldest presidential nominee in history, who is displaying his own increasingly aggressive dictatorial intentions. Americans’ freedom and our future as a democratic society are at stake.

A new op-ed from People For President Svante Myrick highlights the urgent need for the Senate to confirm more of President Biden’s judicial nominees in his final months in office. Judges nominated by Biden have issued powerful decisions that have protected the right to vote, our freedom to learn, the rights of workers, and more.
“We need to say to the Senate leadership that confirming this cohort of judges is something one generation owes to the next. If we believe Harris will win — and I do, although it will be close — it’s something this administration must do to set her up for success. Prioritizing great judges matters today and tomorrow, because Harris will carry the torch on this issue if she is elected.”
A new survey of more than 5,000 Americans confirms earlier findings that Christian nationalist beliefs held widely among Trump supporters and white evangelical Christians pose a threat to democracy.

For more than 40 years, People For the American Way has worked with artists and creatives to impact real-world political outcomes. Artists for Democracy 2024 is our latest campaign to continue this work and the legacy of our founder, Norman Lear.
The artwork that is being created for this campaign will be conversation pieces—both in the communities in which they’ll be displayed and as art hung on the walls of People For supporters like you. When you purchase this art, you’ll be joining a powerful movement to protect our democracy.
Even better than getting your hands on art that speaks to pro-democracy values, the funds we raise through this program will be put to work immediately in helping to get-out-the-vote in key states by putting up artist-designed billboards, hiring canvassers, organizing events and more.

As we face a growing wave of authoritarianism and anti-democratic forces, it has never been more critical to secure the future of our democracy and the progressive values that are under attack by right-wing extremists. One way to join this cause is through estate planning to protect the people and things you love, safeguard your assets, and secure a brighter future for our country.
Despite the value of planning, the process is often inaccessible, overwhelming, and expensive — especially to historically disenfranchised communities. That's why we are excited to announce our new partnership with FreeWill so that our supporters can create their wills, and plan their estates at NO cost to you.
