PFAW Member,
Today is my 98th birthday, so I figure I have another 15 or 20 years of activism left in me! I hope you’ll be by my side.
I’ve seen plenty of ups and downs over my 98 years – in my own life and the life of the country. But I don’t remember anything like this.
I’m not just talking about the coronavirus pandemic and systemic racism in policing and elsewhere. I’m talking about an epic failure of leadership by Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, William Barr, and Trump’s other enablers. They’re making our problems worse and weakening our democracy.
They’ve shown that they’ll do anything to hold on to power – even blocking Americans from their sacred right to vote. Which is why we have to use every bit of our individual and collective power to fight back.
So, on my 98th birthday, I’m writing to ask that you step up to challenge the power of those who have proven that they don’t deserve to hold it.
Your donation today will be 3X-MATCHED, tripling the impact of your support!
We’ve faced national crises before – I lived through the Great Depression and I flew combat missions in World War II. But the danger presented by Trump and the Radical Right movement he’s energized feels like something entirely different.
That’s why I am so grateful for People For the American Way.
For almost 40 years, People For the American Way has defended our constitutional rights and worked to build a country that makes the “blessings of liberty” available to everyone. We want to make “We, the people” mean “ALL the people.”
Trump and Trump Republicans are distorting and corrupting the American Way. They’re abusing their power to plunder our country. It is breaking my heart. And it is making me mad.
Thanks to you and so many others, People For the American Way has been growing stronger. We are using every tool we have to fight for democracy and the protection of voting rights, equality for LGBTQ Americans, the freedom to worship as we want or not at all, and courts that protect every American and not just the most powerful ones.
And now we’re energized by a new president, BEN JEALOUS, at the helm, ready to lead us into what I hope will be PFAW’s most exciting chapter yet.
All donations triple-matched!
Thank you so much for reading, donating, taking action, and standing with us in every way that you do.
Sincerely,
Norman Lear
