Friend,
If you want to understand how the MAGA movement plans to hold power long after voters reject it, look at the federal courts.
This is not subtle. Trump and his allies are openly working to stack district courts, circuit courts, and the Supreme Court with ideologues whose loyalty is not to the law or the Constitution, but to him. These are lifetime appointments. They are meant to outlast elections, outlast public outrage, and outlast accountability.
We are already living with the consequences.
Trump judges and justices have ripped away reproductive freedom, weakened voting rights, undermined worker and consumer protections, and rolled back decades of progress on racial justice and LGBTQ+ equality. And the MAGA-majority Supreme Court has shown again and again that it is willing to hand Trump extraordinary power, despite the harm to Americans’ rights, liberties, and freedom.
This is why People For the American Way makes the fight for fair courts a frontline fight – essential to a democracy for all the people, not just the powerful and privileged.
Right now, every gift you make is matched dollar for dollar through midnight December 31. That means your support immediately doubles the resources we can use to resist extremist nominees and fight for judges who will uphold rights for everyone.
Give now while your gift is 2X-matched >>
Winning this fight takes more than outrage. It takes sustained, strategic pressure.
People For brings together grassroots activists and grasstops leaders to oppose dangerous nominees, educate the public about what’s really at stake in the courts, and prepare for the moments when judicial vacancies can be filled with fair-minded judges. Our legal and courts experts work directly with members of Congress, including Judiciary Committee leaders, who rely on our research – and our advocacy. Our organizing connects judicial decisions to people’s everyday lives, because courts should not be an abstraction.
We have stopped Republican efforts to create new judgeships for Trump to fill. We have pushed back on schemes designed to shield Trump from accountability. We have fought attempts to strip federal courts of their power to block clearly illegal actions by the administration.
None of that happens by accident. It happens because people like you invest in the long game.
The MAGA Right has spent decades building a well-funded machine to capture the judiciary. They understand exactly what’s at stake. We do too.
This end-of-year moment matters. With the match in place, your gift goes twice as far in defending the courts as a safeguard for democracy, not a tool for authoritarian power.
In solidarity,
People For the American Way
