John,
I wanted to make sure you saw Noah’s email about our $60,000 matching challenge. If you’re able, please consider donating now.
From being one of the first to raise the alarm about Postmaster Louis DeJoy’s corrupt attacks on mail service to uncovering documents that show possible abuse of taxpayer funds by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to releasing a 170-page report laying out the democracy reforms our country so desperately needs—CREW’s work is much broader than just countering President Trump’s corruption (although we do that too, of course).
Long after Trump has left office, we’ll be pushing for reform and accountability (remember: Louis DeJoy will remain in office, and we can’t let him escape accountability), continuing our investigations and ensuring that the Biden administration adheres to high ethical standards. If like us, you believe that staying focused on ethics and repairing our democracy remains crucial even when Trump is no longer in the White House, I hope you’ll consider donating now. Hitting our goal for our year-end matching challenge is crucial to ensuring we’re able to continue the fight into 2021 and beyond.
Thank you,
Donald Sherman
Deputy Director, CREW

John,
2020 has been a year unlike any other.
At CREW, we’ve been right there with you in shock, outrage and dismay at the twists and turns of this year—from President Trump’s devastating mismanagement of the coronavirus crisis, which was exacerbated by his corruption and nepotism, to his appalling attacks on the election results, to his and Attorney General Bill Barr’s racist use of federal force against peaceful racial justice protesters.
And we’ve been countering these outrages every step of the way—with investigations, legal actions and more. As the year comes to a close, we need your help to ensure we can continue the fight for accountability and reform in 2021. To help us start 2021 off strong, a generous CREW supporter has offered to match all donations, up to $60,000, between now and midnight on December 31st.
If you’re able, please consider making a matched donation now to help us reach our year-end goal. Every donation will go twice as far in supporting CREW’s continuing anti-corruption efforts.
When President-elect Joe Biden takes office next month, our democracy will still be in dire need of help. From pushing for meaningful accountability for Trump and his enablers to continuing our investigative work to advocating for substantive democracy reform to holding the Biden administration to high ethical standards—2021 will bring plenty of opportunities to strengthen and repair our democracy.
You can help ensure that CREW is strong and ready to take advantage of every opportunity to fight for accountability and reform in 2021. Please consider making a matched donation now.
We know that the pandemic has had devastating economic consequences for many. So while we hope you’ll consider a donation if you’re financially able, we also know that may not be possible right now—your support means so much to us, no matter what.
Thank you,
Noah Bookbinder
Executive Director, CREW
