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

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

PFAW Member,

I hope you had a good and safe Memorial Day weekend. It’s a holiday that
not only marks the unofficial start of the summer season, it marks the
beginning of a new crucial phase in this year’s historic election cycle.

Trump, his administration, and his Republican allies both in Congress and
in the states are mismanaging the coronavirus crisis with deadly results.
Their incompetence, their egregiously misplaced priorities, and their
willingness to exploit the pandemic – to suppress voting, send kickbacks
to their corporate donors, blackmail their political opponents, and more –
will all cause more incalculable long-term harm to Americans’ lives AND
livelihoods.

Yet, as I write this, Trump’s base of support seems just as unshakable as
ever. His approval rating and polling numbers – and those of other
Republicans – remain much higher than they should be, thanks to the
constant misinformation pumped out by the Trump administration, Fox News,
online conspiracy theorists, and amplified daily by the rest of the Right
Wing echo chamber. Joe Biden is generally outpolling Trump nationally but
it remains a nail-biter in many of the most critical battleground states.
A CNN poll from just a week ago showed Trump ahead in the top battleground
states, making it entirely possible that Joe Biden could win the popular
vote by even more votes than Hillary Clinton and still lose the election
to Donald Trump in the Electoral College.

The polls that are understandably disappointing and sobering because they
show Trump’s viability even after such monumental failures also show signs
of tremendous hope … the work PFAW and our allies are doing in key Senate
battleground states is making a difference and Mitch McConnell’s majority
is more vulnerable than it’s been in years. Democrats are polling ahead in
the Senate races in states like Arizona, Maine, Colorado and we’re
expanding the map to include traditionally red states like GEORGIA, where
both sitting Republican senators are up for election and are in real
trouble. A recent Georgia poll also had Joe Biden beating Trump in the
state, and we’re seeing similar chances to expand the map in states like
North Carolina and even Texas.

It’s never been more urgent that we hold Trump Republicans accountable and
elect new, progressive leadership – to competently handle this crisis,
future crises, and the leadership of our nation.

I already know that, as a PFAW member, you’re as committed to progressive
victory in 2020 as anyone. And you’ve already shown that you’re willing to
do the hard work it’s going to take to reach the key voters in the key
states and districts needed to win this thing and save our democracy.

[ [link removed] ]Now, I’m asking that you take your support to the next level by
becoming a Defender of Democracy – a member of our network of monthly
sustaining members who form the core of our support with their
automatically recurring monthly donations.

Become a Defender of Democracy TODAY and a group of our top donors will
3X-MATCH your recurring month gift for an entire year!

We're only 20 new sustaining members away from today's crucial Defenders
of Democracy goal – [ [link removed] ]please start your pledge today!>>

Can't make a triple-matched monthly pledge today? [ [link removed] ]Then please chip in
with a one-time gift to keep the fight going>>

The average monthly gift of our Defenders of Democracy is about $19, but
any amount – $25, $15, $10, or even $5 – goes a long way by forming the
reliable base of support that allows us to fight the Radical Right and
protect democracy and Americans’ fundamental rights day in and day out.
And even more urgent, the strength of our monthly sustainer program could
make the difference in how successful our side will be in this year’s
elections.

This is already such a historic year for so many reasons. It can also be
the year that we take our country back and chart a new path forward for
America by dealing Trumpism a resounding defeat on Election Day, in the
races for the White House, the U.S. Senate, and every other critical race
all the way down the ballot.

[ [link removed] ]Will you begin your 3X-MATCHED monthly pledge of $25, $19, $10, or any
amount right now to become a Defender of Democracy and sustain our work to
DEFEAT Trump and the Far Right?

[ [link removed] ]Yes – start my monthly contribution now and triple my impact for an
entire year!>>

If you support the work but are unable to make a monthly pledge today, you
can still chip in with a [ [link removed] ]one-time gift to save our democracy>>

Thank you so much for everything you do.

We hope you’re staying safe and healthy.

Best,

Michael Keegan, President
