I want to start this email with a huge thank you!
This year’s Double Trouble campaign has come to a close, and I have exciting news to share: we met our match, raising over $70,000 from our supporters!
Whether you made a gift, forwarded our emails, or shared our work with friends and colleagues — we are genuinely grateful.
Your support enables us to keep fighting for federal employees who are risking their careers to tell the truth, protect the public, and uphold the laws they swore to enforce.
It also helps us continue our work exposing corruption and self-dealing in the Trump administration, defending our public lands, and so much more.
Read on to learn more about the wonderful work we are doing together!
With deep gratitude,
Tim Whitehouse
Executive Director
