[ [link removed] ]Right-Wing Groups & House GOP Join DOJ Attack on SPLC and its Allies
Republicans in Congress are escalating their campaign against the Southern
Poverty Law Center, and the fight is about much more than one
organization. At a House Judiciary Committee hearing, right-wing lawmakers
and witnesses pushed attacks on the SPLC while Democrats warned that the
Trump administration’s prosecution of the group is part of a broader
effort to intimidate civil rights organizations, progressive advocates,
and anyone willing to track and expose extremism. The latest Right Wing
Watch report breaks down how the hearing became a window into the right’s
larger agenda: discredit groups that document hate, deny the threat of
white nationalist violence, and use government power to punish dissent.

[ [link removed] ]Invest in the Midterm Fight Now
The midterms will decide whether we have the power to stop the MAGA agenda
or whether Trump and his allies gain even more power to undermine our
rights, our courts, and our democracy. People For is already running the
campaigns we need to meet this moment: mobilizing voters, exposing
extremism, defending hard-won freedoms, providing support to candidates in
key races, and turning public outrage into sustained action. But reaching
the people who can change the outcome takes resources, especially when the
right-wing is pouring millions of dollars into disinformation, voter
suppression, and candidates who will rubber-stamp their agenda.
Your contribution helps power the work that can make the difference
between frustration and victory. It fuels the organizing, digital
outreach, advocacy, and rapid response campaigns needed to reach voters
where they are, give them clear ways to act, and build the pressure needed
to defeat MAGA extremism at every level. The stakes are real, but so is
our ability to fight back. [ [link removed] ]Invest in People For’s midterm campaigns
today and help build the people-powered movement this moment demands.

[ [link removed] ]Artist Michael Dixon Talks Art Activism and the Future of Civic
Engagement
Artist Michael Dixon knows that art can do something facts alone often
cannot: make people feel, question, and see the world differently. In this
conversation, Dixon reflects on the Renaissance masters who first inspired
him, the personal experiences that shaped his work on race and identity,
and why democracy needs artists who can turn civic participation into
something urgent, human, and visible. His piece Bring A Friend And Vote,
featured in People For’s The Art of Saving Democracy action kit, asks a
deceptively simple question: who gets to be seen as “American”?

[ [link removed] ]Christians Aren’t Signing Up for the Trump Administration’s Unholy War
Trump and his allies love to claim they are defending Christianity, but
this op-ed argues they are doing something far more dangerous: twisting
faith into a political weapon. From Trump’s self-glorifying religious
imagery to Cabinet officials pushing a MAGA-fied version of Christianity
inside the federal government, the piece calls out the right’s escalating
assault on church-state separation and religious pluralism. It also
highlights why leaders like James Talarico are striking such a nerve: they
expose the truth that no political movement owns Christianity, and that
faith can be a force for inclusion, compassion, and justice rather than
cruelty, corruption, and control.

[ [link removed] ]It’s Time To Restore Balance to the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court’s right-wing supermajority has spent years weakening
voting rights, rolling back fundamental freedoms, expanding corporate
power, and eroding public trust. But the current Court is not untouchable.
Congress has changed the size of the Supreme Court before, and it has the
power to do so again. As public demand for reform grows, right-wing legal
groups are already sounding the alarm because they know what expansion
could mean: real accountability for a Supreme Court majority that has
delivered again and again for the Far Right.

At a moment when democratic norms are being tested and the future can feel
uncertain, planning ahead is one meaningful way to help sustain a healthy
democracy for the generations that follow. The choices we make today shape
the world future generations will inherit, from the strength of our
institutions to the values that guide our communities. Estate planning is
about protecting the people and causes you love, making your wishes clear,
and helping ensure that what matters most to you continues to have an
impact long into the future.
Too often, creating a will feels complicated, out of reach, or
prohibitively expensive. That is why we are proud to partner with
FreeWill, a no cost service that helps supporters create a will and plan
their estate with confidence. It is a simple, accessible way to take care
of your loved ones and put your values into action, on your own terms.
