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%.
