As the President of CMD’s board and its past executive director, I know first-hand how hard the CMD team works day in and day out to dig behind the scenes to expose the many hidden avenues of billionaire influence, so that We the People have the information we need to fight back! That's why I'm reaching out to you now to implore you to support CMD's prize-winning investigations into corporate influence and corruption before year end! There's so much at stake in 2020—the future of our courts, mitigating climate change, access to affordable health care, and long-overdue voting and campaign reforms. With dark money spending expected to break all records in the upcoming critical 2020 elections and legislative sessions, your support for CMD’s work is needed now more than ever!  In 2010, dark money helped extreme partisans flip 11 states and rig redistricting to control elections and policy for a decade. It would be a disaster for our democracy and our planet if they were able to do it again in 2020. So please donate now—before year end—and make your tax-deductible gift to CMD to help shine a light on dark money in 2020! Together we can make a difference and help win back a democracy of the people, by the people, and for the people. With gratitude for all that you are doing to help make our world a better place,  Lisa Graves,
Board President, Center for Media and Democracy |
