John,
I wanted to make sure you saw Noah’s email. CREW’s work strengthening our democracy and fighting corruption is more important than ever—and your support can help us tackle this work with the urgency it deserves. If you’re able, please consider becoming a monthly donor now—a generous supporter will match the first three months of your donation, so it will go twice as far.
As a thank you, all new and current recurring donors are invited to join me and CREW President Noah Bookbinder for a briefing call about CREW’s upcoming work on Wednesday, April 20 at 3 pm ET/12 pm PT. After becoming a monthly donor, you’ll receive an invite with more details and an opportunity to submit your questions.
Whether you first heard of CREW when we sued Donald Trump for violating the Emoluments Clauses of the Constitution, or one of the many times we uncovered documents showing taxpayer funds going to Trump properties, or even if you followed CREW as we fought against public corruption in the 13 years before before Trump was in office—we hope we can count on your ongoing support. Corruption, transparency, ethics and accountability aren’t trends to CREW—these issues have been our focus for years, and we’ll continue the fight no matter what.
From banning Congressional stock trading, to fighting for campaign finance reform, to uncovering Trump’s abuses of taxpayer dollars, to getting answers about the insurrection—for all these and more, we need your support. If you’d like to help us continue pushing for real accountability and reform, I hope you’ll consider making a matched monthly donation now.
Thank you,
Donald Sherman
Vice President and Chief Counsel, CREW

John,
Donald Trump has been out of office for a year.
But we’re still cleaning up his mess. At CREW, we’re still pursuing accountability for him, his enablers and the insurrectionists. We’re taking legal actions, chronicling Trump’s crimes and fighting for answers. We’re holding companies accountable when they donate to seditionists. We’re fighting for real democracy reform to close the loopholes and weaknesses Trump exposed and to shore up our democracy for the future. This work is necessary not just because exposing the truth and ensuring consequences always matters, but because only with accountability and reform can we prevent the same people from doing the same damage and more in the future.
All of that work is urgent, but it isn’t easy, and it requires real resources to do it well.
That’s why a generous CREW supporter is matching all new recurring donations for the first three months, up to $15,000 total—because they know that ongoing support is crucial to CREW’s ability to continue fighting for an ethical, accountable, equitable and transparent government and a strong, thriving democracy. Will you consider becoming a recurring donor now?
The end of the Trump presidency has meant a chance to focus on reform, not just daily battles for accountability. We’ve been pushing for a Congressional stock trading ban for years, and we’re finally seeing real progress—in fact, CREW Chief Counsel Donald Sherman will testify before Congress later this week on exactly that. But of course, there’s still plenty of mess to clean up from the Trump administration—including pushing for a full investigation of Trump’s crimes and his indictment if warranted.
It’s a lot of work, and I have to be honest: some people have turned away from the fight for democracy and accountability. It’s crucial that we have the resources to continue the fight, and with the focus shifting, supporters like you are more important than ever.
That’s why I hope you’ll consider making a monthly matched donation now. Ongoing recurring donations are absolutely crucial to our future success—and if you become a recurring donor now, the first 3 months of your donation will go twice as far.
Thank you so much for your support,
Noah Bookbinder
President, CREW
