Dear John:

Like you, I am deeply concerned about the millions that Charles Koch and other right-wing dark money funders have spent to bankroll this year’s assaults on Covid-19 safety measures, racial justice, voting rights, and the very soul of American democracy.

CMD has been digging through documents for almost 30 years to bring you the best available information on the millionaires, huge corporations, and front groups fueling disinformation and division. This year, CMD has exposed:
 

• Koch-backed efforts to defend online misinformation about Covid-19 and the medical licenses of doctors who promote quack “cures.”
   
• More than $1.1 billion in spending by Koch-controlled organizations to influence higher education and elections and promote right-wing policies across the country.
   
• The Koch-backed ALEC’s growing extremism, alliances with anti-abortion and hate groups, and its efforts to block climate action and operationalize the GOP’s culture wars as binding state law.

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 am reaching out to you now, in the last few hours of 2022, to ask that you please support CMD’s independent and in-depth investigations into the dark money forces of deception and division by making a tax-deductible gift before the year ends!

As Robert Reich has said of CMD, “The first step to winning back our democracy is knowing who has taken it hostage.”

So before midnight tonight, please give as generously as you can! No gift is too small. And every gift is appreciated! AND...

Thanks to a $50,000 match, your gift through midnight tonight will have twice the impact!
Donate Here!

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
