John,
I wanted to make sure you saw Zephyr’s email. If you need one good reason to support CREW, Zephyr’s got you covered—she’s given you three.
And I’ll give you one more: because you care about the strength of our democracy—and you believe that CREW’s work is crucial to safeguarding our democracy and building a more equitable, accountable government.
If you can, I hope you’ll consider making a matched contribution now. Our matching challenge ends on Saturday, but we haven’t reached our $75,000 goal yet—can you help us get there?
Thank you,
Noah Bookbinder
President, CREW

John,
Do you need one good reason to support CREW before the end of their July matching challenge?
I’ve got several:
- CREW is one of the foremost organizations fighting dark money—through legal actions, policy advocacy and hard-hitting communications work.
- CREW’s FOIA investigations are unmatched—in just the last few months, CREW has uncovered the full cost to taxpayers of Mike Pompeo’s Madison Dinners, found out how many Secret Service employees were diagnosed with COVID in the first year of the pandemic, and brought to light the $1.5 million price tag of the temporary fence put up around the White House during last summer’s racial justice protests.
- CREW is also working relentlessly for democracy reform in Congress, working closely with policymakers and advocating for an end to the filibuster so that comprehensive democracy reform can pass the Senate.
If you think that work is valuable and needs to continue, I hope you’ll consider making a contribution today—all donations, up to $75,000 total, are being matched through the end of the month. Your gift will go twice as far in helping CREW fight for accountability and a stronger democracy.
CREW’s work is perhaps even more important than it was during the Trump administration. It may be tempting to become complacent, now that we have an administration that has shown an interest in following ethics rules, and a president who isn’t funneling taxpayer dollars to his golf courses and hotels. But that would be a mistake—repairing the damage of the Trump administration, closing loopholes, shoring up our democracy, and exposing the abuses of the Trump presidency are all urgent priorities that we can’t afford to ignore.
If you believe that it’s crucial to continue fighting for ethics, accountability and transparency—if you think it’s possible for us to build a more equitable democracy—then I hope you’ll consider a matched donation to CREW today. They could use your support, now more than ever.
Thank you,
Zephyr Teachout
