The 1% own and operate the corporate media.

They are doing everything they can to defend the status quo, squash dissent and protect the wealthy and the powerful. The Common Dreams media model is different. We're nonprofit. We rely on donations from our readers, not corporate advertisers. We don't have wealthy investors or corporate executives pushing layoffs to drive profits. We cover the news that matters to the 99%. We ask everyone who believes in independent, progressive media to help us—no amount is too large or too small—continue our coverage of these pivotal—and perilous—times. Independent journalism and democracy itself have never been more fragile, more at risk than now. Can you chip now to help keep us going? Thank you. -- Craig Brown, Co-founder
