Dear People For Supporter,
More than 50 years ago, in a conference room at the Religious Action
Center of Reform Judaism (RAC) in Washington, DC, civil rights leaders
drafted their contributions to what would become the Civil Rights Act of
1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
As the former long-time executive director of the RAC who has fought for
the continued protection of civil rights and voting rights, I have urgent
and alarming concerns about the future of our democracy and those on the
Far Right who seek to undermine it.
That’s why, when Ben Jealous asked me to join a civil disobedience action
outside the White House to urge President Biden to do more to protect the
sacred right to vote, I joined him without hesitation – and was arrested
with other People For leaders and allies in the process.
I’m a decades-long board member and passionate supporter of People For the
American Way and its work to defend democracy and democratic values. I’m
proud that this organization I’ve supported for so long is continuing to
lead this important fight for voting rights with courage, moral vision,
and bold action.
And I’m asking that as you make your end-of-year donations, to make sure
that People For is among the recipients and that your gift is as generous
as possible.
All donations by 12/31 triple-matched! (Deadline tomorrow.)

How disheartening it is to see the deterioration in what had been the
traditional bipartisan support for voting rights. As recently as 2006, the
last time the Voting Rights Act was reauthorized, it passed unanimously in
the Republican-controlled Senate and overwhelmingly in the House – and was
signed by a Republican president.
Now, as Republican legislatures in more than 19 states pass legislation to
restrict voting, Senate Republicans are using the filibuster to block any
effort to strengthen federal voting rights protections. It threatens the
very fabric of our democracy.
We need organizations like People For to be as well-equipped as possible
to continue this critical fight into next year – to protect our vote as we
head into what will likely be a tumultuous and contentious midterm
election cycle.
[ [link removed] ]It’s why I’m asking today that you make your generous
3X-MATCHED renewal contribution to support People For the American
Way right away, so they can start 2022 off strong and continue fighting
– please rush your donation now >>
With the right to vote in peril and far-right bigotry on the rise, we need
to make sure that organizations like People For are strong enough to face
these challenges.
Thank you for all of your support and hard work in our shared fight.
Sincerely,
Rabbi David Saperstein
Board Member, People For the American Way
