My thanks to everyone who responded to my note yesterday (copied below in case you missed it).

We still have quite a ways to go to earn the full $25,000 in dollar-for-dollar matching funds.

And tomorrow’s midnight deadline is really closing in.


If you can, please donate today. Remember, anything you contribute right now will be matched dollar-for-dollar.

Even better, sign up now to be a Monthly Donor (if you haven’t already) and your contribution will be matched dollar-for-dollar every month for one full year!

Thank you for anything you can chip in.

So far, 2021 has had more than its share of bad news:
This is an absolutely critical moment for everything you and Public Citizen are doing together.

As the president of this organization, it is my job to oversee all of the advocacy, research, organizing, and legal work that Public Citizen does.

I’ve been in this role for 12 years, and I come to the office every day feeling both enthusiastic and honored.

It is also my job to make sure we have the resources to carry out all that work we’re so well known for. I am just as enthusiastic and honored to do that.

Because we are up against corporate, plutocratic, and regressive forces that always have far more resources than we do.

But for half a century, we’ve been a thorn in their side. Quite a bit more than a thorn, in fact.

And while we are famously strategic and efficient, we do need a baseline level of financial strength to keep fighting — and winning.

So — with not even three full days before we close the books on the first half of this unprecedented year — I’m asking:


If you can, please donate to Public Citizen today.

A few comments:

1. A group of benefactors will match anything you contribute right now dollar-for-dollar.

2. If we can raise $25,000 by midnight Wednesday, we’ll earn another $25,000 in matching funds.

3. $25,000 is an aggressive three-day goal for us.

4. If we can reach it, we’ll be in far better shape as we head into the second half of this momentous year.

Again, any amount you chip in right now will be matched dollar-for-dollar.

Contribute now.

Even better, sign up now to be a Monthly Donor (if you haven’t already) and your contribution will be matched dollar-for-dollar every month for one full year!

Thank you!

In unity,

- Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen

P.S. If you’ve donated recently, thank you. At such a critical moment, I’m hoping I can ask you to dig a little deeper and make another contribution while the dollar-for-dollar match is in effect. Either way, my thanks again for your ongoing support of this shared project called Public Citizen.
