Dear Marcia, <\/p>
You made a big difference last year. <\/p>
You and other CREDO members helped raise $2.8 million for progressive groups just by using your phone service. These donations cost you nothing. But they mean everything to the groups that depend on us. <\/p>
Thanks to you, these groups can continue their fight to stop toxic fracking, enforce a ban on deadly assault weapons, defend organic-labeling laws and protect women\u2019s rights. <\/p>
How do we divide up the donations to the groups? Simple. You tell us. Each year, we ask you and other members to vote on how to distribute the money you\u2019ve generated throughout the year. The results are in, and here are a few highlights:<\/p>
Planned Parenthood \u2014 $195,149
\nEarthjustice \u2014 $103,644
\nFreedom to Marry \u2014 $65,717
\nDoctors Without Borders \u2014 $141,307
\nMother Jones Investigative Fund \u2014 $89,455

Since 1985, CREDO members like you have raised an amazing $73,748,264 for nonprofit groups working for peace, human rights, economic justice and a clean, healthy environment. And this year you\u2019ll raise millions more. <\/p>
Thanks to all those who voted in our special election. And thanks for fighting with us for progressive change. We couldn\u2019t do it without you. <\/p>
Sincerely, <\/p>
Michael Kieschnick
