People For Supporter,

As Chief Financial Officer, I have to make some pretty hard decisions
about our spending. And there’s no way to sugarcoat this: our fundraising
has been down – significantly.

In an important election year like this, those hard decisions I just
mentioned could have an impact on the direction we take as a nation and
the real lives of countless Americans over a generation.

We’re now just hours away from our end-of-month deadline, so I wanted to
make sure you saw Ben’s message – and ask you to please chip in to fund
this work that you support.

Thank you for all of your generous support!

[ [link removed] ]We need to hold far-right senators accountable for their abhorrent treatment
of Judge Jackson and for abusing her confirmation hearings to advance racist and
anti-LGBTQ hate.



Dear People For Supporter,

If you followed last week’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings, you saw
far-right senators repeatedly cross the lines of basic decency. Notably,
Sen. Joe Manchin called far-right senators’ treatment of Judge Ketanji
Brown Jackson “disgraceful.”

We need to hold far-right senators accountable for their abhorrent
treatment of Judge Jackson and for abusing her confirmation hearings to
advance racist and anti-LGBTQ hate.

The best way to start is by preventing them from winning a majority in the
rapidly approaching midterm elections.

People For is building the movement to stop hate, defend democracy, and
increase voter turnout – especially among the communities targeted by the
Far Right’s voter suppression efforts.

If you’re with us, we need to know. And we need your help in these
efforts.

As you know, we face a challenge this year in voter enthusiasm. We’re
working hard to close that gap and energize our movement with the
expertly-crafted messages and tactics proven to increase turnout.

But we’re also facing the challenge of alienation and dampened enthusiasm
among activists and donors.

So, like many non-profit and advocacy organizations this year, our
fundraising is down. And the timing couldn’t be worse.

Americans reject the Far Right’s extremist agenda – from trying to destroy
Social Security, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act, to banning books
and prohibiting the acknowledgement of LGBTQ people’s very existence.

But, as they always do, the Far Right is hiding that agenda behind
election-year scare tactics aimed at firing up their base and dividing
Americans along racial, religious, and cultural lines – to the detriment
of the country as a whole.

We saw cause for hope last week. Far-right senators tried to use the
Ketanji Brown Jackson hearings as a testing ground for their bigoted and
dishonest rhetoric. But Americans weren’t buying it. Not only is Judge
Jackson the most popular Supreme Court nominee in decades, a just-released
poll from Marquette Law School shows that her approval went up – from 64%
to 72% – following the hearings!

It’s a sign that we can turn the conventional wisdom about historical
midterm election trends on its head and stop the Far Right in this most
critical election year. But it’s going to take a people-powered movement
and a lot more grassroots donations than we’ve been seeing to fund the
work.

hate and defend our fragile democracy>>  >>



Thank you for everything you do.

Ben Jealous, President
