100% of your donation MATCHED for Norman Lear's 100th birthday!

Dear People For Supporter,

As our friend Norman Lear nears his 100th birthday this summer, we are
asking you to celebrate it with him by [ [link removed] ]chipping in a renewal donation
to support People For the American Way, the organization he co-founded
with the late Barbara Jordan to counter authoritarianism and advance
democracy.

We have known, admired, and loved Norman for at least half those years,
ever since he participated in a series on creativity that we produced for
CBS. He later invited us to join other kindred spirits in a retreat to
discuss and debate the ideas and objectives that became People For’s
mission. Norman’s enthusiasm and patriotism were contagious; the rest is
history.

But now history has taken a new turn, and democracy faces a triple threat:
from a new gilded age that concentrates political and economic power in
fewer and fewer hands; from a fundamentalist religious movement eager to
use state power to force women to carry unwanted pregnancies; and from a
far-right political party willing to employ racism, voter suppression, and
extremism to gain power and ruthlessly wield it.

As Grover Cleveland once warned the country he led twice as President:
“The Ship of Democracy, which has weathered all storms, may sink through
the mutiny of those on board.” Our democracy is still fragile, still
vulnerable, still the target of usurpers.

So we weren’t surprised when we learned that Norman has dedicated the
entirety of his centennial year to the work of People For the American
Way. He’s still a believer, still a patriot, still tireless in the fight
for democracy.

[ [link removed] ]On the occasion of this true icon’s 100th birthday, we’re asking that
you send your greetings and support with an honorary renewal donation to
carry on Norman’s legacy and the vital work of People For. >>

– Judith and Bill Moyers
