Email from Political Research Associates The stakes couldn’t be higher—help us block authoritarianism.   Hi John, The state of democracy has reached a new level of crisis. In just the first few months of the new administration, we have seen a disturbing series of executive orders and policy changes directly targeting marginalized communities—from rollbacks on racial equity initiatives, to sweeping restrictions on reproductive rights, to new policies that further criminalize poverty and dismantle critical protections for LGBTQ+ communities. These actions aren’t isolated. They are part of a coordinated strategy to concentrate power, silence dissent, and erode the very foundations of democracy. Our partners on the frontlines—grassroots organizers, community leaders, and movement builders—are calling on us for the research, analysis, and strategy they need to resist these threats in real time.

This is an all-hands-on-deck moment for philanthropy. We need donor activists like you to not only stand with us but to lean in boldly. Backing down is not an option. Our communities need us to push back. Critical funding is needed to scale our research and equip movement leaders with the intelligence and strategic frameworks they need to protect their communities’ basic human rights. This isn’t just about funding an organization—it’s about resourcing the infrastructure our movements need to fight back and win. Will you make an urgent gift today to ensure we can meet this moment?
