Dear John,

Trump’s heartless and illegal immigration crackdown this year has been accompanied by the kind of violence you would expect under a ruthless dictatorship. Scores of journalists, observers, and peaceful protesters have been severely injured after being teargassed, beaten, and shot with “less lethal” munitions.

The Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) broke the story that Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had taken the position that recording and posting videos of ICE agents was “violence” that would be aggressively prosecuted. 

And when mainstream media ignored the daily brutal attacks on journalists happening in Los Angeles, Chicago, and other hot spots, CMD sounded the alarm with a series of hard-hitting exposés, a shocking video narrated by a freelance journalist who had himself been injured twice in LA, and webinar with other journalists and lawyers to delve into the resulting lawsuits and clarify the constitutional rights at stake.

CMD’s work shines a light where powerful institutions would prefer darkness. But our work is only possible because of supporters like you.

So, please make a generous tax-deductible donation today to support CMD’s fearless work to defend press freedom and hold power accountable! 

And, as an extra incentive:

All of our rights are at stake.

Thank you for standing up for truth when it matters most.

In solidarity,

Arn Pearson
Executive Director
Center for Media and Democracy
