----[message from PFAW founder Norman Lear]----

PFAW Member,

I recently turned 97. Happy birthday to me!

In 97 years, I’ve had plenty of ups and downs. And so has our country. And
it’s because of what is happening to our country right now that I believe
my most important accomplishment was founding People For the American Way.

Here’s what I mean. For almost 40 years, People For the American Way has
been defending our constitutional rights and working 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 Trumpism are twisting, distorting, and corrupting the American
Way. For the sake of power – and the ability to abuse that power to
plunder – he and his allies will destroy democracy itself. It is breaking
my heart. And it is making me mad.

They’ve shown that they’ll do anything to hold on to power. Which is why
we have to use every bit of our individual and collective power to fight
back.

Thanks to you and so many others, People For the American Way has been
growing stronger. We are using every tool available to us 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.

So, I’m writing to you to ask that you tap into your own power to
challenge the power of those who have proven that they don’t deserve it.

now more than ever need defending>>



Thank you so much for reading, donating, taking action, and standing with
us in every way that you do.

Sincerely,

Norman Lear
