Earlier today, I reached out to give you an update ahead of our strict end-of-year fundraising deadline.

I told you that we were in serious danger of falling behind and not having the resources we need to continue fighting as effectively for people like you in 2022.

Unfortunately, not enough people stepped up and we still are not on track to hit today's fundraising target. Take a look for yourself:

Year-end Fundraising Campaign

This is our biggest and most important goal of the year. We need to raise more money each day through New Year's Eve in order to hit it, but that’s not happening right now.

Will you make a donation right away to turn things around and help Public Citizen continue our essential work?

DONATE NOW
(Remember, thanks to a group of longtime benefactors, anything you donate today will be DOUBLED instantly.)

Friend, I’ll be totally transparent with you.

Public Citizen relies on people like you pitching in from time to time in order to keep doing all the work that we do:

• We have organizers building grassroots power across the country to protect our democracy and make sure that right-wing voter suppression tactics are not successful
• We have a team of highly-effective advocates working with members of Congress and their staff every single day on things like Medicare for All and Build Back Better
• We have researchers who are hard at work exposing Big Pharma’s bad practices during a global pandemic
• We have the best public interest lawyers, filing lawsuits to make sure the U.S. Postal Service delivers the mail on time, tough consumer and worker health and safety measures are in place, key government documents are made public and much more

I’m incredibly proud of all the work that’s happening at Public Citizen.

But it’s just the reality of running a non-profit like ours that we couldn’t afford to keep all of our operations running without your help.

I wish that I didn’t ever have to ask you for money. But the truth is that hitting this year’s final fundraising goal will have a major impact on our ability to continue fighting for you next year.

So if you think any of the work that we’re doing is important, I urge you to contribute whatever makes sense for you today. Anything you can spare will make a huge difference.

Thank you for supporting this shared project called Public Citizen.

For progress,
