Common Dreams is the one news source that cares about making the world a better place. We don’t just transcribe the events of the day, checking our values at the door. We believe in providing the news in a way that makes a better world possible. People desperately need information they can trust. And we believe that hard-hitting journalism is essential to provide voters with the information they need to make a well-informed decision that's best for our future.

Thank you. -- Craig Brown, Co-founder
