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

People For Member,
We are about to head into the month when the future of voting rights, the
future of our democracy itself, could be decided.
The Senate returns from recess this September and it will be make-or-break
time for them to pass the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting
Rights Act.
If the Senate does not act on certain democracy-saving provisions
contained within the For the People Act this fall, we could be looking at
an electoral wipeout in 2022, followed by another in 2024. This is because
of how outrageously far-right Republicans are rigging the playing field
with their voter suppression, gerrymandering, and usurpation of the vote
counting and certification process in key states.
Here’s the thing… we’re well behind our August fundraising goal. And as an
organization whose work is largely funded by our members and grassroots
supporters, that could have a devastating impact right now.
We get it. Fundraising and member engagement can slow down in the summer,
especially August. But make no mistake, the Far Right is waging an all-out
war on our democracy and it’s up to us to save it.
That’s why we need our strongest supporters, like you, to step up and
power the work that’s needed to save the right to vote and protect free
and fair elections in our country.
[ [link removed]- ]Will you make a final end-of-month donation right now, of any amount,
to make sure People For heads into September ready to keep leading the
fight to save democracy and the right to vote? >>
With the help of members and supporters like you, we’ve spent the summer
escalating the fight to save voting rights and democracy with ramped-up
pressure on senators AND the Biden administration, raising awareness in
the press, starting a civil disobedience campaign, and building an
undeniable movement of democracy-loving Americans who are standing with us
every day to make sure the cornerstone of the American experiment –
government by the People – survives.
Time is running out to save our democracy. Let’s make sure we’re doing
everything we can.
Thank you for all you do.
– Ben Betz, Online & Organizing
