John, as 2025 comes to an end, I’m sure you’re fielding hundreds of requests for donations in your inbox – I’m going through the same myself.

It can be overwhelming hearing all these worthy causes compete for your time, attention, and money. From saving sea turtles from plastic pollution to fighting against union busting, there’s no shortage of worthy causes you can support.

But here’s what’s different about Common Cause and our fight for the democracy we deserve: it makes every other cause you and I care about possible.

That’s because Common Cause fights for you - not billionaires, special interests, or political insiders, to ensure We The People have the loudest voice in our government. So that you can use your power to impact what matters most to you.  

I won’t take up too much of your time today. You get our emails, so I know you’re familiar with our work to hold power accountable. I hope you’ll consider chipping in before tomorrow's midnight deadline – and all the worthy causes close to your heart.

We set an ambitious $500,000 goal for our Year End fundraising - my team tells me this is how much we need to raise to achieve all our priorities in 2026 and thanks to a generous Common Cause member who gave the first $100,000, we’re nearly there.

Can I count on you to chip in $5 or more to help us reach our goal and make 2026 our most impactful year yet?

Olan and the team at Common Cause
