Dear Common Dreams Readers:
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. And that is needed now more than ever.

We believe that with a pandemic spiraling out of control, people desperately need information they can trust. And we believe that hard-hitting journalism is essential to hold the Trump administration accountable for their deadly incompetence. Common Dreams’ Spring Fundraising Campaign is critical to ensure that we can continue to provide the nonprofit progressive journalism you count on every day. Every reader contribution, however big or small, is so valuable. Please donate today. Thank you. -- Craig Brown, Co-founder

Our pandemic coverage is free to all.
As is all of our reporting.

But your generosity is crucial to our survival.
