Earlier today, I emailed to let you know that we are in danger of coming up short in the online fundraising that powers the work you and Public Citizen do together. (That message is copied below in case you missed it.)

We still need 160 people to contribute before midnight tonight.

That sounds achievable, right?

But a weird thing happens when we get this close to a make-or-break deadline — so many people seem to figure enough other people will step up that hardly anyone actually does.

Please donate right now if you can. Your donation will be MATCHED DOLLAR-FOR-DOLLAR.

Thank you for anything you can chip in today!

As someone who is part of this shared project called Public Citizen, you deserve to know where things stand.

This is a “peek behind the curtain” you might not get from other nonprofit organizations.
Here’s what that all means:

We need 215 people to DONATE BEFORE MIDNIGHT TONIGHT or we will come up short of the real-world financial resources it takes to continue standing up to corporate greed, right-wing extremism, and government inaction.

If you can, please donate today. Every donation made today in response to this message will be matched dollar-for-dollar.

DOLLAR-FOR-DOLLAR MATCH — CONTRIBUTE NOW

Or sign up as a Monthly Donor today and your contribution will be MATCHED DOLLAR-FOR-DOLLAR each month for a full year!

If donating today is not a good fit, that’s okay. I hope you’ll understand the need to ask when we’re facing a shortfall like this so we have the resources to carry out all the essential work you and Public Citizen are doing together.

Thank you for reading this, and thank you for everything you do as part of Public Citizen.

- Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen
