[ [link removed] ]We're still about $40,000 short of our Giving Tuesday goal -- so please chip
in now!

Dear People For Supporter,

In the early 1980s, televangelists – let's call them the Religious Right
version 1.0 – started filling the airwaves with bigoted rhetoric that
challenged the faith and patriotism of anyone whose politics were not
aligned with theirs.

This was not the American Way. So I joined with the late Congresswoman
Barbara Jordan, Father Theodore Hesburgh, and a host of civic, business
and religious leaders to launch People For. We knew we needed to stand
against the forces of division, hate, and intolerance that these far-right
leaders were injecting into the political and cultural life of our nation.

What we started over 40 years ago is now one of the leading progressive
organizations defending true American values, and our community of
supporters keeps getting bigger and stronger. But we need your support to
counter the Far Right – an even more radical and dangerous version 2.0 of
the same harmful forces we founded People For to fight.

[ [link removed] ]So I ask you: this Giving Tuesday, will you give to stop hate and
defend democracy with a triple-matched early renewal donation to People
For the American Way?

I shudder to think about America without People For the American Way,
given the current threats to our democracy and our rights. Our mission is
more important than ever and we were tailor-made for this moment.

The Far Right is planning to base its 2022 election efforts on a playbook
we at People For have seen – and defeated – before. Once again, they’re
turning their attention to America’s schools as their preferred
battleground, right down to book banning and, as recently reported about
some local elected officials in Virginia, even book burning.

So much is on the line in the year ahead and the direction of our country
depends on our ability to expose, disrupt, and counter the Far Right’s
efforts to divide us with lies and hate.

[ [link removed] ]You can help fight the lies and hate, and protect our democracy for
future generations, with a 3X-matched Giving Tuesday donation to People
For the American Way today >>

Now more than ever I am proud of and thankful for People For. And I am
grateful to you, for making its work possible.

Sincerely,

Norman Lear
