As the President of CMD’s board and its past executive director, I know first-hand how hard the CMD team works day in and day out to dig behind the scenes to expose the many hidden avenues of billionaire influence, so that We the People have the information we need to fight back! That’s why I’m reaching out to you in these last few hours of 2020 to implore you to support CMD’s prize-winning investigations into corporate influence and corruption before year end! The numbers are alarming. In the last four years, dark money billionaires have won a $1.5 trillion tax giveaway to corporations and the wealthy, the appointment of 220 right-wing judges—including three to the U.S. Supreme Court—and a broad-scale rollback of environmental and health-care protections. With dark money forces gearing up to attack the incoming Biden/Harris administration, win regressive Supreme Court decisions, and rig the maps to grossly distort election districts and legislatures for another decade, CMD’s work is needed now more than ever! As Robert Reich has said of CMD, “The first step to winning back our democracy is knowing who has taken it hostage.” So please help shine a light on dark money influence in 2021 by making your tax-deductible gift to CMD now! We are currently 80% of the way to our year-end goal of $150,000, and with your help, in these last hours of 2020, I know we will get there! AND... Thanks to a $50,000 match, your gift today will have twice the impact!
Donate Here! Together we can make a difference and help win back a democracy of the people, by the people, and for the people. With gratitude for all that you are doing to help make our world a better place,   Lisa Graves,
Board President, Center for Media and Democracy
