Dear John:

We have arrived at a dangerous moment in our country’s history, with daily assaults on the very foundations of our democracy and the progress America has made towards justice for all.

But in this Orwellian era of Trump lies and special-interest spin, the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) continues to demonstrate that facts can and do matter. 

That’s why the prize-winning investigative work of CMD is so vitally important—and that's where you come in!
 
Thanks to your support, and support from people like you, CMD works in the trenches every day to expose how the Koch Machine, Big Oil, and dark-money robber barons secretly sway public officials to dismantle hard-won environmental, worker, and voting rights, and consumer protections so that people have the information they need to fight back.

With all the critical challenges facing our country in 2020—as corporate influence networks and billionaires gear up to flood our elections with dark money and ram through their right-wing agenda—CMD needs you more than ever before!

CMD’s breakthrough investigations and legal actions take time and money. Your tax-deductible donation will enable CMD to reach its year-end goal of $150,000 and continue to shine a light on the corruption and corporate influence that threatens America’s democracy.

This year CMD has received a $50,000 matching grant, so every dollar you give between now and the end of the year will go twice as far! Please give generously!

“Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” Together we can win back a democracy that works for all of us!

Thank you for all that you do and all that I know you will do, 

Robert Reich
Former U.S. Secretary of Labor & Co-Founder, Inequality Media
