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

***********************

People For Member,

The powerful movement-building work that People For has led over these
past few months is all thanks to the support of members like you.

Now, as we’re about to close the books on the first half of 2021, I’m
writing to ask that you continue your steadfast support at this absolutely
critical time … because the fights that we’re leading right now will
determine the future of our democracy.



[ [link removed] ]Will you chip in now, before tomorrow’s mid-year deadline, to defend
democracy, stop hate, and make real the promise of an American Way in
which We the People means ALL the people?



People For is mobilizing all of its networks – from our Young Elected
Officials Network to our African American Ministers – and activists across
the country to Defend the Black Vote … to break the Senate filibuster and
pass the For the People Act … to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act …
and to end the injustice that residents of our nation’s capital do not
have a real voice in our government by making Washington, DC the 51st
state.

Through a People For initiative specially crafted to meet some of the
biggest civil rights challenges of our day, we’re leading the way on
innovative reforms in public safety to put an end to police killings and
weed out authoritarian cops.

And, of course, as we near the six-month anniversary of the January 6
Trump insurrection at the US Capitol, our researchers are uncovering
details and exposing Far Right leaders’ connections to the attack while
our field and policy teams are working tirelessly to hold insurrectionists
and other extremists accountable.

We’re also building the programs now that will be needed to stop the Far
Right from taking over Congress in next year’s midterm elections and
gearing up to once again go all-in on the incredibly important elections
coming up this year in Virginia.

You only need to look at the unprecedented wave of voter suppression laws
being pushed by far-right state legislatures across the country to see how
important state-level elections are in the fight to defend our democracy.

In states like Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Arizona, far-right governors
are rushing to sign Jim Crow-style voter suppression bills into law. But
anti-voter bills by Far Right-controlled state legislatures have passed in
Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania as well … the difference is that
those states have Democratic governors who have pledged to veto those
bills. Now, just imagine if all of these crucial battleground states had
progressive majorities in their legislatures dedicated to protecting the
rights of voters and making elections fairer more accessible…

This is a pivotal moment for democracy and the freedom to vote. We, as
People For the American Way, need to continue to stand together and meet
the urgency of this moment.



[ [link removed] ]Will you donate right now, before our deadline, to beat our mid-year
deadline and make sure People For is as powerful as we need to be to carry
on the fight?



In addition to being an incredibly busy month of organizing and movement
building, June also marked my one-year anniversary as president of People
For the American Way. I’m proud of all we have done together to defeat
Trump and everything else we’ve accomplished in the past year. And I am so
grateful to you and our more than a million supporters nationwide for
being such a vital part of our progressive movement.

Thank you for everything.

Democracy needs defenders. So let’s keep fighting.

-- Ben Jealous, President
