The American Way


Spotlight


Together, despite great challenges, we fought harder than ever before. The continued support and countless volunteer hours of People For members like you are the reasons we’re now able to begin a new chapter for America – and the American Way.

THANK YOU!

While there are still major fights going on right now (including, of course, the all-important Georgia runoffs) and many challenges that lie ahead, please take a moment to celebrate and reflect on what we accomplished in 2020 with this year-end video, narrated by acclaimed actor Harry Lennix.

Member Spotlight: Greg Moller

My support of People For the American Way traces all the way back to 1986 – almost to the beginning. I have never liked the Radical Right telling others what to do and I was looking for a way to push back against Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and the "Moral Majority" movement. I was inspired by Norman Lear's efforts to challenge their hateful and narrow-minded rhetoric.

I've always appreciated People For as the voice of reason against fanatics. Through Right-Wing Watch, they expose and defy the extreme activities of right-wing activists and organizations and provide information we all need to know.

When I reviewed my will and updated my beneficiary designations this year, I decided to name People For the American Way as a beneficiary of one of my retirement accounts.

It feels good to support a strong future with People For because, even long after I'm gone, there will always be extremists who want to remake our nation to mirror their narrow image. There will always be a need for People For's work to bring a voice of reason to the forefront. You can't always fix ignorance, but we can and must continue to oppose it.
