Friend,

Elon Musk poured hundreds of millions of dollars into electing Donald
Trump.(1) Now, he’s a top advisor in Trump 2.0’s orbit – with plenty at
stake for his bottom line.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos made the paper he owns, The Washington Post,
pull its endorsement of Kamala Harris. Now, he says he’s excited to work
with Trump to reduce regulation.(2)

Both of these men grew their wealth instantly just by helping Trump
win.(3)

And with Trump’s assembled cabinet the richest in history – nearly 2,900
times richer than Joe Biden’s(4) -- we’re about to see corporate giveaways
and lawlessness like never before.

Courage California’s work to call out corporate wrongdoers has never been
more vital. Will you donate today? Right now, your contribution to our End
of Year campaign will be matched dollar for dollar.

Our work to hold corporations accountable has to proceed on two tracks
next year.

First, we must fight a Trump agenda that is designed to enrich
billionaires and devastate the middle class and the poor.

For instance, Republicans are preparing a giant tax cut for corporations
and the wealthy, akin to what they passed under Trump 1.0. Those 2017
“reforms” gave the top 0.1 percent 277 times more in cuts than to the
middle class.(5)

Second, we have to stand up for strong unions, fair working conditions,
and living wages -- and against corporate price gouging and monopolies --
when we know the Trump White House will do the opposite.

Courage California has a long history of partnering with workers at Amazon
and elsewhere trying to form unions and fight for dignity in the
workplace. And we’ve worked tirelessly to call out the company’s
anti-competitive practices, and demand the U.S. Justice Department do the
same.

Our track record of fighting for corporate and billionaire accountability
will be more important than ever in 2025. Right now, your contribution to
Courage California’s End of Year campaign will be matched dollar for
dollar, up to $10,000.

[ [link removed]- ]Yes, I’ll donate to Courage California today and double my impact!

Thank you for being with us.

–Irene, along with Annie, Angela, Isidra, Cecilia, Jen, and Lindsay (the
Courage team)
