Giving Tuesday
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.

CMD continued to punch above its weight in 2022. We broke the story on how the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and other groups are colluding with Big Oil, to get red states to blacklist companies that take into account climate risks and favor renewables. We exposed how ALEC and right-wing politicians like Scott Walker and Rick Santorum plan to force a constitutional convention that would give GOP politicians supermajority control over rewriting our nation’s founding document. And we outed more than 200 ALEC legislators for belonging to far-right Facebook groups that spread disinformation and poison our politics.

There is so much more to be done in 2023—exposing the corporate Right’s plans to subvert future elections, stoke the culture wars, block climate progress, and crush unions—but we can't do it without you!

So, on Giving Tuesday (or now!), please dig deep to help us keep up the fight!
Together we can secure a democracy that works for all!

Thank you so much for your supporting CMD this Giving Tuesday, and for all that you do throughout the year to make our world a better place.
