A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

People For Member,

Our entire democracy is now at risk. That’s the stark warning in a new
letter signed by over 100 scholars of democracy urging Congress to act
save our democracy.^[ [link removed] ]

Angered over Trump’s 2020 election loss, Far Right legislators in 48
states have introduced at least 389 bills that seek to restrict the right
to vote – and several of them have already been signed into law in key
states.

A vote on S.1, the For the People Act, a bill that would neutralize these
state bills attacking our democracy, is imminent this month and we will be
delivering signatures to the Senate NEXT WEEK urging them to pass it – but
yours is missing!

[1]Sign the petition now and demand that the Senate act NOW to save our
democracy – tell your senators to end the filibuster and PASS S.1, the For
the People Act! >>

Even though Trump is no longer in office, the threat from him and his
closest allies still remains. We were horrified by the Trump insurrection
on January 6, and now, one of his closest aides – disgraced former General
Michael Flynn – recently endorsed the idea of a military coup to overthrow
the Biden administration!^[ [link removed] ]

We cannot become complacent at such a pivotal time in our nation’s
history, and we must act NOW to save our democracy.

[2]“The threat is genuine and it is in front of us. We cannot let this moment
pass. If we fail at this, we don’t just fail for a few years. We fail for
decades, for centuries - we fail our democracy.” Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)
on the significance of passing the For the People Act

[ [link removed] ]Urge the Senate to act IMMEDIATELY to save our democracy >>

The threats to our democracy are real and growing. Unless we speak – and
act – forcefully against Trump’s Big Lie, our vote, our elections, and
indeed our democracy itself is at risk.

Thanks for all that you do,

Zach, People For the American Way
