ONE:
Many people contributed — and are still contributing — to political campaigns this year, perhaps to an unprecedented degree.

TWO:
The coronavirus pandemic has caused financial strain (or worse) for millions of Americans.

THREE:
Whenever we’re up against a critical fundraising deadline, this thing happens where almost everyone seems to assume that plenty of other people will chip in and hardly anybody actually does.

I understand that many folks are not able to donate now, even though this is the time of year when nonprofit groups like Public Citizen rely on an uptick in giving.

That’s why I’m counting on everyone who can make a contribution today — whether it’s $5 or $50, $500 or $5,000 — to donate right now.

Not only will you be supporting all the work that you and Public Citizen do together.

But you’ll also be stepping up on behalf of people who want to support this shared project called Public Citizen but can’t right now.

Anything you contribute today will be matched two-for-one. That’s $2 extra to power our work for every $1 you pitch in.

But only if you donate before midnight tonight.

If you can, please make a year-end donation to Public Citizen right now.

Or join our popular Sustainers program as a monthly donor today and your contribution will be matched two-for-one every month for an entire year!

Contribute now.

Thank you for reading this note.

Thank you for anything you can chip in.

And thank you for everything you do as part of Public Citizen.

- Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen

P.S. I know I’ve emailed you a few times already, and if donating today is not right for you, that’s OK. I hope you’ll understand that I have to ask — especially at this time of year — to make sure Public Citizen has the resources to carry out all the essential work we have to do together.
