**People for the American Way (PFAW)** is a prominent progressive advocacy organization in the United States, founded in 1980 by television producer Norman Lear alongside civil rights leader Barbara Jordan. It was created as a direct response to the rising influence of conservative groups, especially the Moral Majority led by Jerry Falwell. The organization's core mission is to protect First Amendment rights, promote tolerance, celebrate diversity, and uphold democratic values such as freedom of expression and religious freedom[1][2][7]. PFAW started by focusing on combating the imposition of fundamentalist Christian beliefs in public policy and education. It became notably active in opposing censorship in public schools, conducting annual surveys that documented incidents of censorship and challenges to educational content. By the mid-1990s, PFAW had amassed a membership of over 300,000 people and had expanded its scope to include grassroots organizing, public education campaigns, research, and legal advocacy. The organization has regional offices in New York, Los Angeles, Boulder, Colorado, and state offices in Texas and Florida, enabling it to influence policy and public discourse nationwide[1][2]. Throughout its history, PFAW has targeted key figures of the Christian right such as Jerry Falwell, Jimmy Swaggart, and Pat Robertson, positioning itself as a counterweight to conservative religious political agendas. It operates multiple affiliated entities, including the People for the American Way Action Fund for lobbying and legal work, and a 501(c)(3) foundation for educational and research activities. Major donors have included influential progressive funds like George Soros' Open Society Institute[2]. Currently, PFAW continues to be an active force in defending civil liberties, pluralism, and democratic governance, frequently engaging in policy debates and public education on issues related to freedom, justice, and democracy. Its extensive research and media resources provide critical analysis of religious right political movements, making it a key player in the intersection of advocacy, politics, and education in America[1][
