Elections & Endorsements

We’re supporting progressive candidates in local, state, and national races

We support candidates who champion bold progressive ideas. We must keep Donald Trump out of the White House and build a progressive majority in the US Congress and in state and local elections.

Democracy or authoritarianism?

We believe power belongs to we the people--not concentrated in the hands of the wealthy and the powerful without any accountability.

The 2024 election is a choice between democracy and authoritarianism. And we're not just talking about the presidency. Across the country, MAGA Republicans are working to roll back our rights and undermine our democracy.

We can stop them

At People For the American Way, we've identified top elections you need to know about where you can help support great candidates who will protect our rights. Our Right Wing Watch program is calling out far-right figures who are threatening our democracy. And we've put together actions you can take now to fight for a better future for all of us.
