Dear People For the American Way member,
What a year it has been! I turned 100 this year, and it has been a joy to hear from so many people whose paths have crossed mine. I am grateful for all that went into celebrations of my first 100 years, and now I am looking ahead to what comes next for me, my loved ones, and our beloved country.
Some of what I see is worrisome: a rising tide of antisemitism, authoritarianism, white nationalism, and Christian nationalism. Our country needs us at this moment. So I hope you will join me in making a generous year-end gift to People For the American Way. >>
Together we can and do make a big difference. Donald Trump is no longer president. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson sits on the U.S. Supreme Court. The fear that a “red wave” would wash over us gave way to relief when voters rejected many far-right extremists. The torch is being passed to an inspiring group of young leaders, including People For the American Way’s incoming president, Svante Myrick.
These are all signs of hope and promise. But we can’t take our victories for granted. Promoting truth, justice, and the American Way requires ongoing individual commitment and collective effort.
Pushing back on bigotry, resisting voter suppression, exposing extremism, making our communities safer—these are not things any of us can do effectively on our own. But through People For the American Way, I partner with fellow Americans to defend our freedoms wherever and whenever they are at risk.
Please join me in making that work possible with a year-end contribution. >>
I wish you great joy during the holiday season and the year ahead.
Love,
Norman
