John,
Former President Trump is no longer in office, setting new lows for corruption and abuse of power.
But our work to protect our democracy is not over. Far from it—corporate PACs are still funding the members of Congress who rejected election results, states are still passing restrictive voting laws, dark money is still dominating our elections and the ethics loopholes that Trump exposed still haven’t been fixed.
And that’s where CREW comes in. CREW is working hard to get answers about the abuses of the Trump administration, expose the corporate funders of the Sedition Caucus, and advance comprehensive democracy reforms—like the For the People Act—in Congress.
For all that work and more, CREW could use your support. A generous donor is matching up to $75,000 in donations for the month of July—with just a week left, your contribution will help us reach our goal and support CREW’s anti-corruption work. If you’re able, please consider making a contribution now.
Just in the last few weeks, CREW has uncovered the full cost to taxpayers for former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s controversial “Madison Dinners,” which featured wealthy political donors and business executives. CREW exposed Toyota’s donations to the Sedition Caucus (the most of any company) and launched a social media campaign that led to Toyota agreeing to stop donating to members of Congress who rejected the election results. CREW uncovered the Secret Service’s failure to take seriously the threat of violence ahead of the insurrection, called on the DOJ’s Inspector General to investigate the politicization of FOIA processes, along with many more impactful actions.
And that’s just in the last month. All of this important work couldn't be done without supporters like you.
If you’re with CREW, please consider making a matched donation before July 31—your support will enable us to keep up the fight for our democracy.
All my best,
Arielle Linsky Stogner
Chief Operating Officer, CREW
