***********************

Dear People For Supporter,

You know what’s at stake if the Far Right wins control of Congress this
November... because they’re telling – and showing – us exactly what
they’ll do with their majorities!

Their agenda is as extreme, bigoted, and antithetical to the American Way
as ever. It’s truly dangerous. But their level of overreach could be the
very thing that saves this election IF we can effectively tell the story
to voters of what their agenda will mean for the rights and lives of
everyday Americans.

People For is uniquely positioned to tell that story. And to mobilize
voters against the Far Right’s authoritarian extremism. But we can’t
afford to wait – at all – or before we know it, it will be too late.

[ [link removed] ]We’re depending on our supporters like you to make this essential work
possible. Will you please renew for 2022 – this most critical year to
determine the course of our country – with an urgently needed donation to
defeat the Far Right’s hate and save our democracy? >>

Sen. Lindsey Graham, who would likely take over as chair of the Senate
Judiciary Committee, suggested a complete halt to all judicial
confirmations – even if another Supreme Court vacancy occurs. He said that
now-confirmed Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson would not even
have gotten a HEARING.

Sen. Rick Scott, head of his party’s Senate political committee, put
forward an agenda that includes “sunsetting” Social Security, Medicare,
and all existing federal legislation – letting vital programs, including
the social safety net, die. The plan also raises taxes on low-income and
middle-class individuals (NOT on the wealthy or corporations) and
dangerously promotes theocracy.

Far-right governors and state legislatures are showing us exactly what the
Far Right does when in power, particularly in their attacks on LGBTQ+
people with “Don’t Say Gay” bills and their hateful targeting of trans
youth – a move that “analysts say... is designed to provoke ‘gender
grievance’ among voters.”^[1]

And they’re waging an all-out assault on the freedom to learn, with the
most recent shocking move coming in Florida with the banning of 54 MATH
BOOKS based on manufactured outrage over so-called ‘indoctrination,’
‘critical race theory,’ and ‘wokeism.’

We’re waging tailored campaigns on these fronts – to protect the freedom
to learn, defend the marginalized communities being viciously scapegoated
by the increasingly fascist Far Right, and more. And we’re building a
major election-year effort to increase voter turnout.

[ [link removed] ]Please continue to stand with us now, when your support is more vital
than ever, and renew today with a donation we’ll put to work immediately
towards these efforts! >>

The only way to ensure the survival of our cherished rights and the
American Way is to keep fighting.

Thank you for everything you do.

– Ben Jealous, President
