Resisting fascism, fighting for freedom
“We the people” means all the people
Every American deserves freedom and opportunity. We believe in a government that works on behalf of the public interest—not the private interests of Musk and other billionaires. And our courts should provide justice for everyone—not just the rich and powerful. Donald Trump’s MAGA movement threatens all of us. People For the American Way is fighting the lies that divide us and building a future where everyone can thrive. Join us!
The Art of Saving Democracy
Throughout history, artists have played a vital role in every major social movement—shining light where others look away, stirring our conscience, and expanding our collective imagination of what’s possible. This time is no different.
That’s why People For the American Way and its network of artists created The Art of Saving Democracy: An Action Kit for Making Change!, a new nonpartisan civic initiative that uses the power of art and creativity to equip Americans to make a social impact.
Launching June 2, it's available to pre-order wherever books are sold. Order yours today!
More Damaging Rulings by Trump Judges Kick Off 2026
The start of 2026 has seen more harmful rulings and opinions by Trump judges across the country. Key subjects of these cases have included immigration, gun safety, discrimination, and executive power. Learn more in our latest report on the horrors of Trump-appointed judges.
Resisting the Project 2025 Presidency
Resist Project 2025, a roadmap for immediate resistance to an incoming Trump administration and for a strong pro-democracy movement for freedom and justice. The plan calls for assembling a unique coalition of young progressive officials, faith leaders and artists to take prominent roles in resistance and reform because we know none of us can afford Project 2025.
The future we’ll build together
We envision an America where all Americans have an equal say in elections that aren’t distorted by disinformation or bought by billionaires, where people have control over their own bodies, where courts administer justice to all, and where nobody has to live in fear because of their skin color, faith, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, ancestry, or political beliefs.
