CMD digs behind the scenes to expose hidden channels of influence and gives reporters, activists, and people like you the information you need to fight back. And when politicians try to hide their secret dealings from the public, we take them to court!
With Trump cashing in on the White House, and the Koch Machine, Big Oil, and billionaires running the show in so many states, CMD’s work is more important now than ever before!
The critical 2020 elections are just around the corner, and you better believe that dark-money plutocrats and pay-to-play influence operations like ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council) are going to do everything they can to rig the rules and run the table.
But CMD will be there every step of the way, exposing dark money, calling out Trump’s ties to white nationalists, and blowing the whistle on the enemies of a fair democracy, climate action, and economic justice.
"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty" – together we can make a difference!
With deepest gratitude,
Arn Pearson, Executive Director
