A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

***********************

Friend,

Memorial Day has come and gone, but its message is one we carry forward.

It’s more than the unofficial start of summer. It’s a solemn reminder of
the people who gave their lives in service to this country – and a call to
reflect on the ideals they died defending.

That’s why we want to make sure you see this deeply moving op-ed by People
For president Svante Myrick: [ [link removed] ]“This Memorial Day, love America enough to
fight for it.”

He opens with this reflection:

“Memorial Day is the first of the summer’s patriotic holidays. That
makes it a good time to think about patriotism and what love of country
requires of us today.

As we honor the people who have died while serving in the U.S. military,
let’s also consider how we can honor the American promise for which they
sacrificed.”

What follows is a moving tribute to two Americans who showed us what real
patriotism looks like: Norman Lear and James Baldwin. Both believed deeply
in this country and loved it enough to demand better from it.

The piece also pushes back hard on the toxic lie that anyone who
criticizes Trump or the MAGA agenda somehow “hates America.” That kind of
propaganda doesn’t just stoke division – it undermines the very ideals our
democracy is built on.

“Resisting Trump’s efforts to act like a mad and unaccountable king is a
profoundly patriotic act.”

It’s exactly the kind of message we need more of right now: honest,
hopeful, and resolute.

Please take a few minutes to read this piece and if it moves you, share
it. Post it. Email it. Start a conversation. Because loving this country
means staying in the fight to make it better.
