[link removed] [[link removed]] John, do you recognize the name Leonard Leo?

You might remember him from his role in selecting all three of Trump's Supreme Court appointees. Or for his scandalous secret payments to Ginni Thomas. Now, his dark money network is at work dismantling abortion rights.

Leonard Leo financed the nonprofit that bankrolled a misleading text message campaign pretending a Kansas ballot measure would “give women a choice,” when it actually would have eliminated state abortion protections.

That’s right, Leonard Leo is using $1.6 billion in dark money to further restrict abortion access.

It’s absolutely critical that we fight back against dark money in politics, so we know who is meddling in our elections and how much. CREW is doing just that, and we need your help to continue our work. → [[link removed]]

We’ve been tracking how Leo’s dark money operation raises [[link removed]] all this anonymous cash for years [[link removed]] . This new reporting [[link removed]] shows how Leo’s network has been quietly working to influence abortion policy in the states utilizing his historic $1.6 billion dark money fund, but this isn’t the first time we’ve seen Leo spending big to influence politics. *

Leonard Leo is absolutely flooding politics with his billionaire dollars through shady dark money. This anonymous spending is undermining our democracy.

If our government is truly to be of the people, by the people, and for the people, then we need to eliminate this dark money. We need transparency and disclosure of campaign expenditures. We need campaign finance reform.

If you agree, please help CREW in this critical fight by donating to support our work for a transparent, ethical government today → [[link removed]]

Thank you,
