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 Winter 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

Common Dreams

We know how much you value the nonprofit, independent journalism of Common Dreams. We see it because our web traffic is way up, even as some are forced to cut back on giving during these unprecedented times. That's why we've set an especially ambitious goal of raising $75,000 during our Winter Campaign.

No advertising; no paywalls: our reporting is free to all. But your generosity is crucial to our survival. Can you donate at this critical moment to help fill the gap created by those unable to give? We can't do it without you.
