A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

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

Friend,

The January 6 Select Committee's hearings continue to provide damning
evidence proving that President Trump and his campaign knew he lost the
election – and that the Big Lie he and his supporters spent months
parroting was based on outright lies and deceit.

With two more hearings scheduled for this week, there will be much to
unpack, process, and evaluate as we learn more about who was involved and
what the fight for accountability will look like moving forward.

To provide People For members with another opportunity to learn from our
experts at Right Wing Watch, we're joining our partners at Public Citizen
and Not Above the Law Coalition for a briefing this Thursday at 7:00 PM ET
(6 PM CT, 5 PM MT, 4 PM PT) – [ [link removed] ]RSVP now to join us for what is sure to
be an engaging conversation! >>

We also wanted to make sure you saw Ben's note below, providing an update
after last Thursday's primetime hearing and some additional resources
we’ve created to help you understand the information being shared by the
committee.

Thanks for all that you do and we hope you can join us on Thursday!

Zach, People For the American Way

----[previous message]----

Dear People For supporter,

I hope you were able to tune in to the January 6 Select Committee’s
hearing last night. We saw in excruciating detail just how close we came
to losing our democracy in a coup – as well as the roles played by the
former President and his allies in fomenting the seditious conspiracy. At
least five more public hearings are planned, and they promise to be just
as riveting.

This is a momentous and unprecedented point in American history, so I
wanted to drop a note to say THANK YOU for your support of People For the
American Way.

We need to mobilize and engage as many Americans as possible around these
hearings if we’re going to overcome the Far Right’s “counterprogramming”
propaganda on Fox News and other right-wing media, secure our democracy
from attacks like the attempted Trump coup, and keep the Far Right from
seizing control of Congress and/or our statehouses in this fall’s
elections. Thanks to your support of our work, we are doing just
that.

* We’ve recently released (and now updated) our activist toolkit at
[ [link removed] ]RightWingInsurrection.org, where you can find ways to take action,
a full schedule of the upcoming hearings, shareables for social media,
updates from our Right Wing Watch team giving further context to the
players and movements behind the insurrection, and more.
* We’ve also released the first in a series of videos taking an in-depth
look at the far-right connections to the attempted coup of January 6;
our first one covers January 6 organizer Ali Alexander and the “Stop
the Steal” movement. [ [link removed] ]Watch the new video here. >>

Our next video will focus on the far-right militia group the Oath
Keepers; we expect to release it next week.

* In case you weren’t able to join me, along with Senior Fellow Elie
Mystal, Rep. Jamie Raskin, and experts from our Right Wing Watch team
for our member briefing this past Tuesday, you can [ [link removed] ]watch the
briefing here for more on the events that led to the attempted coup
and what to watch for during the upcoming hearings.

* We’re hosting more briefings throughout the month – including [ [link removed] ]one
this coming Thursday June 16 in partnership with Public Citizen. We
will also hold a special briefing once the hearings conclude to detail
next steps for action.

And we’re live throughout the hearings with special discussions on
Twitter Spaces – yesterday's featured actor and activist (and People
For board member) Alyssa Milano along with Right Wing Watch’s Peter
Montgomery ([ [link removed] ]listen here). There’s another one today, with Senior
Fellow Elie Mystal and Right Wing Watch’s Kristen Doerer. [ [link removed] ]You can
tune in to that here >>

Once again,
thank you for your support of People For. You’re fueling the movement for
accountability for the insurrection and to secure our democracy, and for
that, everyone here is deeply grateful.

Sincerely,

Ben Jealous, President
