Dear People For Supporter,
We’re reaching out again for your help in keeping the bellwether state of
Virginia blue, because election day is approaching fast -- and we don’t
have a lot of time left to stop a Trump-endorsed, far-right candidate from
taking control of Virginia’s state government.
People For is running powerful ads on TV, radio, and online in both
English and Spanish to increase turnout among communities of color and
other core constituency groups we need to win the incredibly tight
governor’s race – the latest poll has the race TIED. We’re also delivering
volunteers to Get Out The Vote programs, exposing and disrupting the
extreme Radical Right’s well-funded influence in the election, and more.
But we need your financial support to see these efforts through to the
finish line.

If
Glenn Youngkin succeeds in taking control of Virginia’s state government,
it’s big trouble not only for the people of Virginia, but for the country
as a whole.
* Youngkin recently spoke at the Family Research Council’s “Pray Vote
Stand” conference; the FRC has been designated as an anti-LGBTQ hate
group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
* Youngkin has waffled on the issue of Trump’s Big Lie, and has been
campaigning with far-right State Senator Amanda Chase -- who openly
supports the January 6th insurrectionists.
* Youngkin has privately promised to “go on offense” to shut down
abortion rights in Virginia if elected governor ... but also admits he
can’t say that in public for fear of losing votes from independents
and moderates.
* Finally, Youngkin refuses to support any COVID vaccine mandates
whatsoever -- and could not even commit to keeping in place Virginia’s
decades-old, common-sense policy that children be vaccinated for
measles before attending public schools.
What’s even more disturbing is the “Democrats in disarray” narrative
likely to develop if Youngkin wins this election -- which will set the
tone for the 2022 midterm elections, and make it harder for President
Biden to push progressive policies through Congress that are
overwhelmingly supported by the American people.

elect Terry McAuliffe and all the Virginia Democrats on the ballot, and
keep far-right extremism out of the Virginia Governor’s mansion.
With your help, we can win this thing. Thanks for all that you do!
—Ben Jealous, President
