Dear Friend,

When George Clooney and I founded The Sentry in 2016, our goal was to hit war criminals where it hurt: their wallets. What started as an investigative project focused on four countries in East and Central Africa is now an independent nonprofit with programs in nine countries across three continents.

The Sentry has exposed the corrupt activity of some of the world’s deadliest war criminals and their international accomplices, delivering more than 100 investigative case files and contributing to sanctions designations, asset freezes, and travel bans on some of the worst human rights offenders and major facilitators of corruption. This pressure helped prevent a return to war in South Sudan and paved the way for the first peaceful transition of power in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2018.

We would not have been able to accomplish this without your support.

The outbreak of civil war in Sudan this year should serve as a stark warning: any progress made on human rights, economic development, and transition to democracy risks being fatally undermined if the underlying systems of corruption are allowed to remain intact.

At their core, The Sentry’s programs are designed to fundamentally dismantle these kleptocratic systems and reverse the warped financial incentives that lie at the root of so much suffering.

I hope you will continue to stand with The Sentry in this important fight.
You can make a difference by giving a gift today.

DOUBLE MY GIFT

Corrupt politicians and war profiteers are constantly finding new ways to launder their ill-gotten gains. That is why The Sentry is continuing to evolve and innovate, developing new tools and building new partnerships to expose these crooks.

But we cannot do it without support from people like you.

Until midnight tonight EVERY donation will be MATCHED.

Thank you for caring and have a Happy New Year.

John Prendergast
