Dear Common Dreams Readers:
Corporate media puts the interests of the 1% ahead of all of us. That's wrong. The corporate media and the billionaire class have controlled the narrative for way too long. In totalitarian countries, the government uses state media to manipulate public opinion and squash dissent. In America, corporations use those same tools to convince voters that commonsense, overwhelmingly popular ideas are impossible. But Common Dreams is different. We cover the news that matters. We know another world is possible. But we can’t do it without you. Our critical Spring Campaign is underway. Please—no amount is too large or too small—pitch in to support our people-powered model and keep Common Dreams strong. Thank you. -- Craig Brown, Co-founder
