Dear People For Supporter,
It's been a breathtaking, and at times, a bone-chilling month. Since the time we launched this member drive campaign...
We’ve seen the dire consequences of a far-right extremist takeover of our Supreme Court – with decisions openly hostile to long-held rights and precedents, such as the reversal of Roe v. Wade, the decimation of state-level gun restrictions in the Bruen decision (at a time when mass shootings are at epidemic levels!), and – just this morning – a polluter-friendly ruling that kneecaps the EPA’s ability to address our climate crisis.
We’ve also learned some truly incredible details about the seditious conspiracy that led to the insurrection and attempted overthrow of our government last January 6, including the disturbing role of the disgraced former president as he fomented the insurrection and even tried to lead it in person – despite advice from the top White House lawyer that Trump and his acolytes would be "charged with every crime imaginable" if they followed through. Despite all this, Republican fealty to Trump and his Big Lie so far seems unchanged.
We know the situation is grim. But what we’re seeing now is exactly why the need to keep fighting and the work of People For the American Way are more important than ever.
And that’s why we’re here: to give you the agency to make a difference in dark times like these ... and to help you keep fighting for the rights, values, and democratic principles that define our shared vision for our country.
Today is the final day of our mid-year member drive and we’re still more than 300 donations short of our goal to bring 1,000 new or renewed members into this fight before the end of June.
As tonight’s midnight deadline approaches, will you step up and join us?
|
Your renewal donation today – of any size – will go directly to:
-
Fight back against racist voter suppression efforts in multiple states this fall by ensuring that all voters have the information they need to cast a vote and have that vote counted.
-
Support our Right Wing Watch team as they document, expose and disrupt the Far Right – including a multi-pronged publicity and electoral accountability campaign for anyone who aided or abetted the attempted overthrow of our government.
-
Continue supporting the nomination and confirmation of federal judges with a diversity of backgrounds and experiences, and who have a demonstrated commitment to equality and justice for all.
Here at People For we’re still as determined as ever to fight for the American Way and elect progressive candidates at all levels – local, state and federal – to actually pass legislation that addresses the attacks on our ability to vote, the erosion of our rights, the gun violence problem, and so much more. And we need your help.
Our records show that you have not yet renewed your 2022 People For membership (please forgive us if this is a mistake).
People For the American Way, in our 41st year, is uniquely positioned to lead, and win, in this moment. But we’re only as powerful as the financial support we receive from our membership base.
So, please stand with us again.
Thank you for everything you do.
– Ben Jealous, President
P.S. Despite all the grim news, I do want you to know that I’m getting a little more optimistic about our future as a nation these days. First, because I think the Court’s decisions have gone so far out of the mainstream, that they’ll have a big electoral impact this fall ... and secondly, because we recently convened a cross-disciplinary group of our Young Elected Officials and African-American Religious Leaders networks, and these folks are doing some amazing work to move bold and innovative programs at the local level to protect our rights and reimagine public safety. More to come on that later, so stay tuned!
