People For Supporter,

Have you noticed just how desperate the Far Right has gotten in their
desire to cling to power at all costs? After their attempted coup of
January 6 failed, they’ve now shifted to more under-the-radar strategies
to accomplish their goal of solidifying control over every aspect of
government and society.

They’ve passed voter suppression bills in multiple states, and are trying
to redefine what it means to be an American and have a place – and a voice
– in our country. They’re banning books and scapegoating vulnerable
communities to stoke fear, and – with no constructive policy ideas to run
on – have moved from racist dog whistles to overt bullhorns. And they
continue promoting the Big Lie about the 2020 election, in an attempt to
promote distrust in democracy itself.

Unfortunately there’s a very real chance
that the Far Right seizes control of one or both chambers of Congress in
this fall's elections. This would mean an end to any congressional efforts
to seek accountability for the seditious conspiracy that led to the
insurrection of last January 6 ... and the pursuit of a policy agenda that
includes ending Social Security and Medicare, and doing away with the
separation of church and state.^[ [link removed] ]

[1]We can’t afford to let this happen. So, we’re asking again, because we
really need you with us – please chip in a donation today to renew your
People For membership, help us meet our April fundraising goal and execute
an ambitious summer program to hold the insurrectionists accountable and
prevent a Far Right takeover of Congress this fall! >>

We’re currently planning a multi-pronged, nationwide campaign to maximize
the impact of the upcoming January 6 hearings on this fall’s elections –
including events, videos, activist briefings, and volunteer mobilization.

We know that various far-right leaders – including the disgraced former
President, officials from his administration, and various members of
Congress – will come into the spotlight at various times during these
hearings, and we need to be ready to amplify and lift up the stories of
their disgraceful conduct for maximum electoral effect.

As an organization, People For is uniquely positioned to carry out this
work – with more than 40 years of experience fighting to stop hate and
defend democracy, and a dedicated team of researchers on our Right Wing
Watch project working to expose and disrupt these far-right extremists.

But as our end-of-month deadline approaches tomorrow ... right now we’re
just short of the financial resources we need to execute our plan. [ [link removed] ]So
please chip in a generous renewal donation today to help us get the truth
out!  >>

We refuse to let the Far Right turn the clock back decades on Americans’
fundamental rights – and we hope you feel the same way.

We thank you in advance for any support you can provide, and we look
forward to fighting shoulder to shoulder with you to defend freedom,
equality, opportunity and justice for all – the American Way.

Sincerely,

Ben Jealous, President
