John, we wanted to make sure you saw Donald’s email. We couldn’t do our anti-corruption work without sustaining donors, and we hope you’ll consider making a monthly contribution now to support our work.
We know all of us are struggling with the current crisis, but even now, here at CREW, we don’t lose sight of the fact that we’re in it for the long haul. Our work can take time to get results, but sustaining donors provide us the support we need to keep up the fight. We’ve taken more than 650 legal actions during the Trump administration to push for accountability, transparency, and ethics, and we’ll keep taking action for as long as it takes.
Become a sustaining supporter of CREW with a monthly donation of any amount, and then join Donald next Tuesday for a briefing call to learn more about CREW’s upcoming work.
Thank you,
The CREW Team

John,
Since the start of the Trump administration, CREW has taken more than 600 legal actions. We’ve filed lawsuits and complaints, requested records, tracked conflicts of interest, and repeatedly called out corruption. We’ve had a big impact—and we couldn’t have done any of it without support from our sustaining donors.
Just in the last few months, CREW has obtained records revealing over $80,000 in taxpayer spending on Eric Trump’s business trip to Uruguay and $17,000 on Don Jr’s hunting trip to Malaysia with a major donor, filed complaints about the NRA’s potential violation of tax law and Rudy Giuliani’s apparent crimes related to the Ukraine scandal, and launched an investigation into political interference at the Department of Justice.
These aren’t easy fights. Over the last three years, we’ve been fighting an uphill battle against conflicts of interest, industry influence, and unprecedented corruption. But we’ve been able to keep pace with the Trump administration’s corruption thanks to our sustaining donors.
If you can, please consider supporting CREW as a sustaining supporter by making a contribution each month. Your monthly donation of any amount will have a real impact on our ability to keep up our democracy-defending work.
As a special thank you, I’ll be doing a briefing call with our sustaining supporters on March 24th. We’ll discuss CREW’s ongoing work, as well as important wins you may have missed, and I’ll answer some of your questions. Become a sustaining supporter today—progress takes time, and your support can help us sustain the fight.
Thank you,
Donald Sherman
Deputy Director, CREW
