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

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

Friend,

Earlier this week [ [link removed] ]I published an op-ed about gratitude in difficult
times. Today I want to share a more personal version of that message with
you because People For members are central to what keeps me hopeful.

These are not easy days. The injustice and instability of the Trump
administration continue to shape the lives of millions. But gratitude
still matters. It reminds us what we are fighting for and who we are
fighting alongside.

So here are a few things I am grateful for.

I am grateful for my family, who remind me why the fight for a future
where everyone can be free and thrive remains essential. I am grateful for
my church community here in Washington, which reinforces my belief that
faith and justice must move together. And I am deeply grateful for the
staff and board of People For the American Way, whose commitment to
defending this nation’s best values never wavers.

I am grateful for the organizers, volunteers and supporters who make up
this movement. People who knock on doors, speak out at town halls, create
hand-painted signs, mentor young leaders and support this work through
People For. Your persistence fuels everything we do.

I am grateful for artists, journalists and creators who challenge lies
with truth and imagination. For whistleblowers and federal workers who
continue serving the public with integrity. For the voters who made their
voices heard in Virginia, New Jersey, New York City and communities across
the country this month. For lawyers and judges who uphold the rule of law,
and for the justices whose dissents remind us what a constitutional vision
rooted in fairness still looks like. And I am grateful for members of
Congress who bring clarity and conviction to the fight for democracy.

Perhaps most of all, I am grateful for you.

Your support strengthens this movement. Your solidarity makes it possible
to confront injustice with steadiness and resolve. Your belief in this
work gives us the grounding we need to keep going, even through difficult
times.

We still have the freedom to fight for the future of this country. And we
still have a community of people like you who refuse to give up on a more
just and inclusive United States.

Thank you for being part of People For. Thank you for fighting alongside
us. And thank you for being among the many reasons to stay hopeful this
holiday season.

With deep gratitude,

Svante Myrick
President
People For the American Way
