Dear People For Supporter,

This will be a historic week for our nation as we move towards
confirmation of the first-ever Black woman to join the Supreme Court.

Right now everything is on track for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to be
confirmed late in the week – and it will be a moment of sheer joy.
However, we still have a very long road to travel in order to bend the
moral arc of our country and achieve a judicial system that protects the
rights of everyone, not just the wealthy and well-connected.

We’re deeply concerned – we hope you are too – at the prospect of
far-right extremists gaining a majority in the Senate this fall, and
shutting down all the progress we’ve made in rebalancing the federal
judiciary since President Biden took office last year.



For
more than 40 years, People For has been fighting right-wing extremism, and
helping build a democratic society that upholds the ideals of freedom,
equality, opportunity and justice for all.  But we can only do this work
with the financial contributions from supporters like you, [ [link removed] ]so today we
ask you to chip in the most generous donation you can to renew your People
For membership and help fuel our grassroots movement. >>

The signs of creeping authoritarianism and neofascism on the Far Right are
plain for all to see these days, ranging from book banning, erasure of
LGBTQ+ Americans, and voter suppression here at home ... to support for
war criminal Vladimir Putin abroad.

We know this isn’t the future most Americans want, but we’re looking ahead
to the midterm elections this fall and watching the Far Right hide their
true agenda with dishonest rhetoric – most vividly demonstrated in Judge
Jackson’s confirmation hearing. Their racist and bigoted scare tactics are
designed to fire up their base and divide Americans along racial,
religious, and cultural lines – and unfortunately there’s a chance they
will prove effective.

We believe we can stop the Far Right from seizing control of Congress in
this most critical election year. But it’s going to take a people-powered
movement – and, to be honest, like many nonprofit and advocacy
organizations this year, our fundraising levels are not where they need to
be right now.

We know how to run effective electoral programs that turn out
lower-frequency voters and get results in the races that matter – but to
fund this work properly, we need your grassroots financial support.



[ [link removed] ]If you’re able, please give generously today to help stop hate, fight
the Far Right, and defend our democracy in this critical election year >>



On behalf of everyone here at People For, I thank you for your financial
support AND for everything you do to defend our democracy.

All the best to you,

Ben Jealous, President
