We have just a few hours left to go until CREW’s $80,000 matching challenge ends, and I wanted to make sure you saw Senator McCaskill’s email.
CREW’s work fighting corruption and protecting our democracy has never been more important, and your support will help us continue that work for as long as it takes. If you’re able, make a matched contribution before midnight tonight, and it will go twice as far in supporting CREW’s legal and investigative work.
Thank you,
Noah Bookbinder
Executive Director, CREW

Here’s a fundamental truth of President Trump’s presidency: He is willing to abuse his power, manipulate the presidency for profit and engage in unprecedented corruption, no matter the damage it does to our democracy—or the American lives he endangers.
The last few months have made that truth clearer than ever before, and it’s clearer than ever why CREW’s anti-corruption work to defend our democracy is so essential.
CREW has taken nearly 800 legal actions during the Trump administration, and we’ve only picked up the pace in recent months. CREW has uncovered conflicts of interest and dark money schemes, taken legal action to respond to Trump’s profiteering, and pushed for accountability for ethics violations, and that’s only the tip of the iceberg.
If you’d like to help CREW continue the fight, a generous donor is matching up to $80,000 in contributions to CREW during the month of July—with only a day left, your contribution will be matched and will go twice as far in supporting CREW’s anti-corruption work. If you’re able, please consider making a contribution now.
President Trump and Attorney General Barr have shown their willingness to use the legal system for personal and political benefit over and over again. Just a few weeks ago, Trump’s commutation of Roger Stone’s sentence—after Barr had already attempted to interfere with Stone’s sentencing in February—made it crystal clear that he believes there’s one set of standards for those who commit crimes to help the president, and another for everyone else.
I won’t stand for that, and CREW won’t either. I’m proud to serve on CREW’s board and play a role in the fight against unprecedented corruption and breathtaking abuses of power.
If you’re with me, and with CREW, please consider making a matched donation before tonight—your support will enable CREW to keep up the fight for our democracy.
Thank you,
Senator Claire McCaskill
