People For the American Way, or PFAW (/'pfɑː/), is a progressive advocacy group in the United States.[5] Organized as a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization, PFAW was registered in 1981 by the television producer Norman Lear,[6] a self-described liberal[7] who founded the organization in 1980 to challenge the Christian right agenda of the Moral Majority.
