Dear John: Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, a day when people unleash a wave of radical generosity to transform our communities and our planet. As we emerge from a seemingly endless election season and turn our attention back to the pressing problems at hand, Giving Tuesday is the perfect time to show your support for the good groups dedicated to improving our world. After a year of near-constant threats to fair elections, November 8 showed us just how resilient American democracy can be. Still, with more than 180 election deniers now serving in Congress and a Supreme Court stacked by dark money groups, many threats lie ahead. That’s why our team at the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) has been working overtime to expose the pay-to-play efforts by Koch groups and right-wing plutocrats that dominate our politics and courts, and the dark money forces that tried to suppress the vote and disrupt the midterms. So, as CMD prepares to celebrate our 30th Anniversary, I hope we can count on you to take a few moments this Giving Tuesday (or right now!) to make a generous tax-deductible gift to the Center for Media and Democracy to support our award-winning investigations. |
