Dear People For supporter,

Imagine the governor of the country’s biggest swing state is an
insurrectionist who has openly declared a willingness to throw out
election results he doesn’t like – and as governor has the power to do it.

That’s what’s on the line in Pennsylvania with radical extremist Doug
Mastriano handily capturing the Republican nomination for governor in that
state’s primary this month.

Someone like Mastriano – who organized buses for and attended the January
6 protests to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s victory – winning the
race for governor of Pennsylvania would have a devastating national
impact. Regardless of which presidential candidate actually WINS the state
in 2024, you’d be almost assured that Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes
would be cast for Trump or another far-right Republican.

And, an election turnout in Pennsylvania that puts Mastriano over the top
would all but assure that the open U.S. Senate seat in that state will NOT
flip from GOP control, putting Mitch McConnell one step closer to
regaining control as Senate Majority Leader!

We need to mobilize every last pro-choice, pro-democracy voter in
Pennsylvania and other key states between now and Election Day – on the
ground, online, on the phones, on the air, and by mail. And, with a budget
gap this month of nearly $30K and our critical end of month deadline just
hours away, we need your help.

Membership, help get out the vote and save our democracy? >>

Mastriano would obliterate the fundamental rights of Pennsylvanians. He’s
made it clear that he’ll work to ban access to abortion should the Supreme
Court overturn Roe v. Wade. And he’d aggressively pursue some of the worst
voter suppression and NRA-friendly gun policies you could imagine.

He’s not alone.

Far-right candidates for governor, Congress, state legislature, and even
city council and school board are running on an extreme and bigoted MAGA
agenda ... targeting LGBTQ+ youth, reproductive choice, students’ freedom
to learn, the right to vote, and more in their authoritarian quest to
redefine the America Way as white supremacy and Christian nationalism. We
can’t let them do it.

We are living through what could either be a progressive realignment and
national recommitment to individual freedoms, democracy, public safety,
and the core American values that give our country the potential for true
greatness ... OR what could be the end of the American Experiment as we
know it over the next two major election cycles. That’s because if the Far
Right wins control of Congress and enough state governments this November,
it’s no secret that they’ll use their power to:

 1. Pursue a radical agenda of unraveling the social safety net, banning
abortion nationwide, codifying far-right propaganda and conspiracy
theories into law, and more; and

 2. Set the stage for the most aggressive and anti-democratic power grab
in American history in 2024, and install Donald Trump (or another
equally dangerous far-right candidate like Ron DeSantis) as president.

We’re now entering the final months of Election 2022, with primary
elections across the country wrapping up and the summer organizing push
getting underway. In the coming weeks, we’ll have a series of public
hearings by the House committee investigating the January 6 insurrection
that will provide a powerful opportunity to get out the message about
what’s at stake in November – and People For will soon be rolling out a
major campaign to do just that.

The work we do now is just as important – in some ways, more important –
than the work that happens just a few weeks out from Election Day. And we
need your help ... right away.

[ [link removed] ]Will you please dig deep and rush a renewal donation to support our
election efforts today?  >>

The best version of America is not impossible to achieve. It will take
patriotic commitment, hard and smart work, and the kind of movement
building that People For is uniquely suited to lead. And we can only do it
together.

Thanks for all that you do.

Ben Jealous, President
