Make no mistake: our democracy is at risk. The corporate media is falling down on the job at a time we can least afford it. But Common Dreams is different.

While the corporate media system lies to its audience day after day, our nonprofit newsroom has no corporate advertisers, no private equity investors demanding greater returns or profit-boosting layoffs. We are only accountable to you, our readers—and it is only because of you that we exist.

Our Fall Campaign is underway. Can you please chip in what you can—no amount is too large or too small—to help keep us going?

This Is Not Corporate Media.
It’s Common Dreams.
