This week, People For the American Way launched new radio ads aimed at eligible Black and Latino voters in Allentown, Harrisburg, and Reading, Pennsylvania, emphasizing the importance of voting against Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans who want to take away freedoms and silence voters, so they can enact their unpopular Project 2025 agenda and legitimize their attempts to overthrow the will of the people.
"Donald Trump has no plan" and "Donald Trump lies about Jan. 6," which will air in English and Spanish now through Election Day on November 5, features a narrator who highlights Trump – in his own words – pushing lies, repeating bizarre boasts, and demonstrating his indifference to the real needs of the American public. Listen to each ad here.
"In Pennsylvania and across the country, it is vital for us turn out in record numbers for our freedoms, our families, and our futures," said People For the American Way President Svante Myrick. "Donald Trump's only interest is fighting for himself, not the rest of us. In this year's election, every eligible voter should cast a ballot to protect our freedom to vote; our freedom to have an equal say in the decisions that impact our lives; and our freedom to elect leaders who prioritize the interests of the people."
"It's important to understand the motives behind Trump's lies and the Project 2025 agenda written by his MAGA Republican friends," said People For the American Way National Political Director Markus Batchelor. "Trump wants to divide the country so he can take us backwards, and the only way to move us forward as a country is to work together to get out the vote between now and Election Day."
Recently, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that in Pennsylvania voters could have their mail-in ballots thrown out if they do not write accurate dates on envelopes. According to reports, this might negatively impact older voters who are more likely to have mail-in ballots invalidated because of problems with exterior envelope dates.
By this November, eligible Black voters are expected to comprise 14 percent of all eligible voters in the U.S. Latino voters are expected to comprise 12 percent of all eligible U.S. voters, which is estimated at 36.2 million Latinos, up from 32.3 million in 2020. In 2022, Black voters in Pennsylvania represented 11 percent of the state's voters. Latinos currently represent 5 percent of the state's electorate.
