Dear John:

As 2020 draws to a close, I want to thank you—on behalf of all of our researchers and writers—for your continued support of the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD). It’s people like you who make CMD’s work to expose corporate influence and disinformation possible!  Thank you!

With 2021 just around the corner, CMD is gearing up to expose the dark money spending and secret plans of Koch Machine groups, corporate pay-to-play outfits like ALEC, and the Religious Right. Soon we’ll be filing hundreds of freedom of information requests, working with whistleblowers, and engaging our network of pro bono lawyers to shine a light on special interest efforts to influence politicians in your state and around the country.  

As we have for over twenty-five years, CMD will be there, everyday, producing our award-winning investigations about special interest influence and corruption so that you have the information you need to fight back!

We know that the assaults on our democracy and our very rights will not simply disappear because there is a new administration in Washington, D.C. To the contrary! There's so much at stake in 2021!

  • Corporate pay-to-play and right-wing disinformation networks will kick their operations into high gear to undermine the legitimacy of our elections, take away voters’ voices, and block progress on climate change, racial justice, and health care for all.
  • Trump and his GOP enablers will continue to spread dangerous disinformation about voter fraud, and have plans to manipulate the census and redistricting to lock in minority rule for a decade to come.
  • More than 200 Trump judges—including three on the Supreme Court—stand ready to dismantle hard-won rights and expand corporate power at the expense of the rest of us.
  • The Koch Machine and other dark money right-wing networks are gearing up to attack the incoming Biden administration and stop growing social movements for racial, environmental justice and health care for all.
  • GOP-aligned corporate influence groups will be forming dangerous new alliances with white-nationalists and religious extremists that peddle hate and undermine the separation of church and state.

That’s why we need your help now more than ever!

So before midnight tonight, please renew your support and give as generously as you can! No gift is too small. And every gift is appreciated!

We're 80%of the way to our year-end goal of $150,000, and with your help in these last few hours of 2020, we know we can get there!

Your tax-deductible donation to CMD now will help us hit the ground running in 2021. AND...

Thanks to a $50,000 match, your gift through midnight tonight will go twice as far!
Donate Here!

If your gift crossed with my email, thank you very much for renewing your support to CMD and for helping us shine a light on corruption in 2021! 

We really couldn’t do this without you, and we are truly grateful to count you among our friends!

Best wishes for your holidays and for renewed health and happiness in the New Year,

Arn Pearson
Executive Director, Center for Media and Democracy
