Supporter,
We just wanted to make sure you had a chance to read Svante's note below and watch the special featuring him and People For co-founder Norman Lear.
If you missed the special, a recording is now available on NBC's website >>
Thank you,

----[previous message]----
We’ve all felt it. The past several weeks have been a rollercoaster. With devastating attacks and hateful rhetoric targeting our communities, it can sometimes feel like we’re only taking steps backward.
As People For continues to gain recognition for the hard work of our team and members in fighting to expose and disrupt those on the Far Right, I wanted to highlight a new special set to air tonight at 10:30 PM ET on NBC News Now called “Epidemic of Hate.” In the special, I had the pleasure of joining People For cofounder Norman Lear to discuss the rise of antisemitism across the nation and efforts underway to help fight it. I encourage you to tune in if possible.
But today, my primary purpose in writing is to focus on some recent victories that highlight the progress we’ve achieved together.
Here are just a few recent wins that are on my mind as I write you this email… and that give me optimism as I consider the challenges that lie ahead in 2023:
- Dogged get-out-the-vote efforts in Georgia turned out voters across the state concerned about preserving our democracy.
- Progressive district attorneys were elected across the country, from major metropolitan areas to rural communities, in a shift that will advance public safety and criminal justice reforms.
- Our project Right Wing Watch continues to garner attention across several national news networks, maintaining pressure on those who seek to advance a far-right extremist agenda that would dismantle our democracy and impede equality for all.
- We continue advocating for the swift confirmation of fair-minded judicial nominees who will balance and restore integrity to our federal judiciary – 97 confirmed federal judges nominated by President Biden to date!
Each of these victories — and so many more — is a testament to the work you support, mobilizing progressive voters and advocates at every level of government. Businesses, candidates and news outlets are paying attention to the impacts of hateful rhetoric. And together, we’re inspiring the next generation to be actively involved in creating the change they want to see in their communities and across the nation.
I hope you can take a moment to celebrate these wins with us, and enjoy this holiday season with your loved ones.
Thank you for being part of this tremendous work – we couldn’t do it without you.
Onward,
Svante Myrick
Incoming President
