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

Dear People For
supporter,

Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight site has the following Senate races as true
nailbiters, inside most polls’ margin of error:

* North Carolina: EVEN

* Ohio: Dem +1

* Georgia: Dem +2

* Nevada: Dem +4

Additionally, the most recent polls out of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania show
pro-democracy candidates Mandela Barnes and John Fetterman ahead of their
far-right MAGA opponents by just 2 points and 4 points respectively!

Voters are waking up to the fact that this November, the choice before our
nation could not be more stark ... that democracy itself and fundamental
rights like abortion and marriage equality are on the ballot.

Nowhere are the stakes higher than in the U.S. Senate, where we can either
expand a pro-democracy majority to end the filibuster, secure voting
rights, and protect our most fundamental freedoms OR deliver a MAGA
majority to Mitch McConnell to run roughshod over the rule of law and
continue his assault on our judicial branch by blocking all of President
Biden’s judicial nominees (including for any potential Supreme Court
vacancy).

We have just 10 weeks left to get out every pro-democracy vote to save
Truth, Justice, and the American Way. And we have just 48 hours until our
end-of-month funding deadline to ramp up our Get Out The Vote and
messaging strategies in the states that will determine the future of the
Senate – and, with it, our democracy.



[ [link removed] ]Please don’t wait! Donate as generously as you can right now to defend
democracy! >>



We’re at a fork in the road as a nation, with one way leading down the
slippery slope to authoritarianism. It would mean further attacks on our
fundamental rights – such as the right to vote in free and fair elections,
the right to obtain an abortion, and the right to learn the unvarnished
truth about racism in America’s history. It would also mean further
attacks on our social safety net – such as Wisconsin Senator Johnson’s
plans to privatize and slash Social Security and Medicare – and a likely
end to accountability under the law for any crimes such as the January 6
insurrection and the top-secret documents recently found at Mar-a-Lago.

The other path moves us towards strengthening the American Way and
defending our shared democracy. It leads towards codifying Roe v. Wade
into federal law. It leads towards abolishing the filibuster to pass
voting rights legislation. It leads towards rebalancing our courts after
the rightward swing of the previous administration so we can achieve
justice for all, not just the wealthy and well-connected, and it leads
towards further economic support – like the Inflation Reduction Act – for
those of us who aren’t billionaires.



The
choice couldn’t be clearer. If you want to see America turn away from
authoritarianism and bend the moral arc of the universe towards justice
this fall, [ [link removed] ]please renew with a donation TODAY to fight for a
pro-voting-rights and pro-democracy majority in the United States
Senate. >>



As I send this message to you in late August, multiple Senate races are
rated as toss-ups ... and these are the races that will determine control
of the chamber in the next Congress. After the Dobbs decision that
reversed Roe v. Wade, we may be seeing a shift in the political winds –
but it’s no secret that enormous amounts of dark money will be flooding
into our electoral system in the final weeks to counteract that potential
change.

We ask
for your donations because People For the American Way counts on
grassroots supporters like YOU to fund our work as America’s most powerful
multi-racial, multi-generational force fighting for progressive change.
We’ll put your contributions to good use right away educating the public,
mobilizing voters, recruiting and training volunteers, and building
grassroots power in key states and regions that will determine the future
of our democracy.



With just over 10 weeks to go until the critical midterm elections,
there’s no better time than the present to chip in and defend our
democracy. [ [link removed] ]So please give generously today. >>



Thanks for any support you can provide – and for everything you do to
fight for the American Way.

Sincerely,

Ben Jealous, President
