[link removed] [[link removed]] John,

I know a lot of you may have only heard about CREW in the last year or even in the last few weeks. But did you know that CREW has been around since 2003? Since then, our mission has remained the same: hold those who abuse the system to account, compel the government to be more open, transparent, and ethical, and drive secret money and influence into the light.

I’m going to tell you a little bit more about the work we do here at CREW, but if you already know that you’re with us and support our work, then I’m going to ask you help us meet our $125,000 match goal this month. At $103,135.77, we are so close! → [[link removed]]DONATE → [[link removed]]

Here at CREW, we’re deeply committed to reforming ethics and campaign finance laws, and we work alongside policymakers to turn that into reality.

We work every day toward a government that actually works on behalf of the people rather than big donors or powerful industries.

In recent years, we’ve also prioritized shoring up our democracy against attacks and defending the Constitution.

Because Americans deserve a government that is ethical, accountable and open—and they deserve a functioning democracy.

At CREW, we use aggressive legal actions, in-depth investigations, and innovative policy and reform work to achieve that vision. We take on powerful opponents, from the president of the United States to secretive dark money donors. Despite long odds, we continue to have victories large and small, thanks to our innovative legal strategies and unrelenting dedication.

Our complaints have led to record-breaking FEC fines for dark money groups in the post- Citizens United era, and our lawsuits have brought about stronger enforcement of existing campaign finance laws, leading directly to more disclosure of dark money donors.

Here’s some of what we’ve been up to at CREW recently:

*
We’ve
called
for
an
investigation
into
Justice
Clarence
Thomas
after
he
failed
to
properly
disclose
gifts
that
he
accepted
from
billionaire
and
political
mega-donor
Harlan
Crow.
*
We’ve
sued
the
Department
of
Justice
for
records
on
what
happened
to
Rep.
Matt
Gaetz’s
criminal
investigation.
*
We
exposed
10
members
of
Congress
for
owning
nearly
$1.2
million
in
Big
Oil
stocks
and
urged
Congress
to
pass
a
ban
on
congressional
stock
holding
and
trading.
*
We’ve
called
on
the
Senate
to
investigate
Jared
Kushner’s
use
of
taxpayer
money
to
travel
to
the
Middle
East
to
help
secure
a
$2
billion
investment
in
his
firm
from
the
Saudi
government.
*
We
filed
an
ethics
complaint
against
Rep.
Andrew
Clyde
alleging
he
violated
House
ethics
rules
by
introducing,
sponsoring
and
advocating
for
legislation
that
would
benefit
his
firearms
company.
*
We’ve
led
the
call
for
Senator
Bob
Menendez
to
resign–ever
since
he
was
first
charged
with
bribery
and
acting
as
a
foreign
agent.
*
We’ve
called
out
big
corporations
like
Boeing,
AT&T,
Home
Depot,
and
more
for
donating
millions
to
support
the
members
of
Congress
who
voted
to
overturn
the
results
of
the
2020
election.
*
We’ve
fought
back
against
claims
from
16
members
of
Congress
who
spread
a
conspiracy
theory
claiming
that
the
January
6th
insurrection
was
an
“inside
job.”
*
We’ve
even
gone
to
the
Supreme
Court
to
enforce
Donald
Trump's
constitutional
disqualification
from
office
for
engaging
in
insurrection.

John, it’s pretty incredible to see what we’ve taken on so far this year, and just how much we’ve accomplished. Despite long odds, we continue to have victories large and small – and that’s because of supporters like you!

But our work is far from over.

We invite you to join CREW in holding our government to a higher standard and demand a democracy that works for all of us.
