Hi John,

PRA has been researching and resisting authoritarian and far-right movements for over 40 years. We were made to support frontline movements to protect freedoms and rights against greater and greater attacks, and are prepared to stand together, resist, and fight back. But we can’t do this without your support. 

With your support over the last year, we have worked with movements to protect reproductive freedom, trans and queer liberation, and racial and immigrant justice, flanking them as they continue their fights in the midst of an aspiring authoritarian government. 

PRA is doubling down on our efforts to produce the research and movement strategy that the fight for a just, multiracial, feminist, and pluralistic democracy requires. From uncovering the roles of these antidemocratic actors to accompanying communities to develop strategies to resist, we are more determined than ever to shine a light on these threats and stand together to build the democratic possibility we all deserve. To continue this essential work, we need your support.

We are working hard to provide our continued analysis on the emerging moment; briefings and guides to keep our protest movements safe; and opportunities to strategize and organize within our movement ecosystem. 

Your support fuels our ability to educate, expose, and mobilize—thank you for staying  by our side. Stand with us in resisting authoritarianism and promoting a just, inclusive future.

In solidarity,

Cloee Cooper

Research Director
