People for the American Way

Founded in 1980 by Norman Lear to monitor and counter the divisive agenda of the Religious Right political movement, People for the American Way works through grassroots organizing, lobbying at all levels of government, and legal advocacy to engage more Americans in civic and political action, to defend and strengthen vital institutions like our public education system and public broadcasting system, and to protect individual and religious liberty. People for the American Way is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization representing more than 300,000 members and activists.
