A new Supreme Court term began this month, and with it comes more opportunities for the MAGA Roberts Court to deliver wins for Donald Trump while eroding our rights and consolidating power under the executive branch. That’s why we hosted an exclusive member briefing on what we can expect from the Court this term.
We were joined by Lisa Graves, one of the nation’s leading experts on how dark money and right-wing special interests have corrupted our courts and fueled attacks on our democracy. Watch the recording for insight into the new term, how lower courts are fighting to defend our rights and freedoms, and what we can do together to fight back.

There’s an unease in the air this week – not just from Halloween, but from what lies ahead.

Voters across the country will have a chance to show that we’re not backing down – that we still believe in democracy, truth, and a government accountable to the people.
What happens next week will set the tone for everything that follows. It will shape the battles of the midterms and the strength of the movement working to defend our rights and freedoms -- and to build a future of justice, fairness and well-being for all.
Your support right now can help us seize this moment. Every contribution helps mobilize voters, expose extremism, and keep the truth in the spotlight where it belongs. Chip in today to help show that we are united, determined, and far from finished.>>

This Month
As the Supreme Court begins a new term, a new op-ed from People For president Svante Myrick pulls back the curtain on two decades of Chief Justice John Roberts’s quiet but devastating transformation of the Court into a political weapon serving Donald Trump’s authoritarian ambitions. Tracing how the Roberts-Trump Court has gutted voting rights, overturned Roe v. Wade, and granted sweeping presidential immunity, the piece reveals a pattern of judicial overreach and political complicity that continues to shape our democracy today. It’s a must-read for anyone who believes the fight for justice doesn’t end at the courthouse – it begins with our votes.

Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts is facing backlash from establishment conservatives after defending Tucker Carlson’s recent interview with white nationalist Nick Fuentes – a figure who has praised Hitler and unleashed antisemitic tirades to his online followers. By casting Fuentes as a “friend on the right,” Roberts exposed how far the conservative establishment has drifted toward the extreme. The piece reveals a troubling new reality: one of the right’s most powerful institutions is now helping to legitimize the very forces it once sought to contain.

Donald Trump’s “war on the enemy within” has become a war on truth itself. Through relentless lies, censorship, and violence, his administration is trying to silence journalists, activists, and everyday people who dare to document the regime’s cruelty. Yet, as this piece powerfully reminds us, truth has always found a way to rise – from the images of Selma and Emmett Till to today’s footage exposing ICE brutality. In a time when the Trump administration seeks to criminalize recording its own abuses, the act of bearing witness has never been more vital to freedom – or more dangerous to those in power.

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 that our partnership with FreeWill offers our supporters an opportunity to create their wills, and plan their estates at NO cost to you.
