People For Supporter,
I was proud to join People For President Ben Jealous, along with People For staff, members, and activists, at the White House for our series of civil disobedience actions aimed at pushing the Biden administration to take more of a leadership role in the fight for voting rights...
I was proud that People For and its members lent your support earlier this year when I joined with fellow Black clergy in Georgia to lead a boycott of Home Depot over the company’s intentional refusal to speak out against the Georgia voter suppression law...
I’ve been proud to work with People For the American Way for decades, as a board member and the founder of People For’s African American Ministers Leadership Council and African American Ministers In Action.
And I’m proud to continue to stand with People For at every opportunity to stop the bigotry, hate, and extremism that have become the centerpiece of the Far Right’s agenda ... and to DEFEND our fragile democracy and our precious right to vote.
Most of all, as a southern Black preacher who has been in this fight for my whole life, and can speak firsthand about what it took to go up against Jim Crow, I’m proud of People For’s courage and spirit.
This multi-racial, multi-generational organization founded by one of the most diverse dynamic duos imaginable – Congresswoman Barbara Jordan and Norman Lear – and now led by Ben Jealous, is truly carrying on in the footsteps of the pantheon of our most revered civil rights leaders and freedom fighters (so many of them from my home state of Georgia).
I hope YOU are also proud to be part of this project, this movement, this family known as People For the American Way.
Together, we’re making history. And with your continued support, there’s so much more we need to accomplish ... for our rights, for our democracy, for the American Way.
Thank you for everything you do and for standing with us in the fight.
Sincerely,
Rev. Tim McDonald
People For Board Co-Chair
Founder, “Souls to the Polls” and People For’s African American Ministers In Action
