Giving Tuesday
Dear John:

As we turn the corner toward the holidays and a new year, I want to take a moment to thank you for all that you do, both for the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) and the wider community of good people working to make this world a better place.

Today is Giving Tuesday, the unofficial start of the year-end giving season, so I hope you'll take a few moments to make a tax-deductible gift to the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) to support our award-winning investigations into corporate influence, corruption, and right-wing extremism.
  
Between the Covid-19 pandemic and the nonstop assaults on our voting rights by Trump and his right-wing allies, it has been a tough year for all of us – as individuals, families, small nonprofits, and a nation.
 
But that hasn’t stopped CMD from fighting in the trenches every day to counter the forces of dark money and disinformation seeking to distort our democracy.

We’ve made a big impact! CMD’s dark money research on the Right’s campaign to stack the courts was used and credited by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse in the Amy Coney Barrett nomination hearings. We exposed the right-wing groups and influencers fueling the dangerous voter fraud narrative and “Stop the Steal” protests. And we blew the whistle on the Right’s scheme to get a pro-Trump network of doctors on TV to validate Trump’s disastrous handling of the pandemic and push for his rapid reopening plans.

America is beginning a new and more hopeful chapter, but there is so much more to be done—and we can’t do it without you!

CMD’s scrappy crew of investigative reporters and pro bono lawyers will hit the ground running in 2021 to expose the efforts of the Koch Machine, ALEC, Big Oil, and right-wing extremists to block climate progress, racial justice, affordable health care, and badly needed democracy reforms.

So, on this Giving Tuesday, please dig deep to help us keep up the fight!

Your generous tax-deductible gift will go a long way to help CMD shine a light on the special-interest influence and organized disinformation that threatens our democracy!

"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty" – together we can make a difference!

With deepest gratitude,

Arn Pearson, 
Executive Director
