Today, and every year on Giving Tuesday, a growing number of people across the country and all around the world give to the causes near and dear to their hearts ... to organizations that do work that reflects their values. It's a major campaign for us -- absolutely vital to making our 2021 budget and starting 2022 strong. Please check out this message from Kathleen Turner and take a moment to make your 3X-matched Giving Tuesday gift to defend democracy. Fellow People For Supporter, This Giving Tuesday, I hope you’ll join me in supporting People For the American Way with a triple-matched donation for their crucial work. Let me explain why it’s so important we’re in this together. It’s clear that 2022 will be a make-or-break year for the future of our democracy. Fueled by a cult-like devotion to Trump’s “Big Lie” about the 2020 election, far-right extremists have made no secret of their plans to recapture control of Congress in 2022 and try to reverse the progressive gains of the Biden administration At the same time, so many of our rights are already under attack from far-right state legislatures across the country, and a Supreme Court tilted 6-3 in favor of ultra-conservatives: the right to vote in free and fair elections without obstruction, the right that affirms the reproductive freedom of millions across the country, the right of workers to organize and earn a living wage, LGBTQ+ equality, the basic human rights of immigrants and refugees seeking asylum from prosecution and a shot at the American dream – the list goes on. All of these rights are at stake next year. But People For, and members like you, have been tireless in the effort to fight back against the extreme agenda of the Far Right. People For is leading the way in their efforts to empower progressives across the country and defeat far-right Republicans up and down the ballot, but they can only do this necessary work with the support of members like you. So please join us in the fight to restore and strengthen the American Way. Thank you, Kathleen Turner
