In the last six weeks we've seen that change is possible.
The general election was called because the prime minister insisted there was too much opposition to her plans in parliament. We were told that this general election was going to go in one direction. The most powerful media in the country threw everything at it.

People who'd never voted before got involved in campaigning. Thousands of young people didn't simply vote, but pounded the streets telling other people to vote. They made a difference.
Global Justice Now doesn't support any political party and tries to work to change the policies and visions of parties across the spectrum. We had more success than ever before in terms of influencing opposition parties on trade, on energy, on aid,on foreign policy.
But this election was one of the most significant of modern times. The right of the political spectrum put forward policies, rhetoric and a vision which threatened everything we hold dear - attacking migrant rights and human rights, and fostering an insular and selfish approach to the rest of the world.
It didn't wash. People power created the most significant upset of modern electoral history. We don't know what will happen next. The script has not been written.
During the election political parties seem like the only thing that matters. But long-term change has always been pushed from below, by movements: from abolishing slavery, to winning the vote for working people, from the anti-apartheid movement to Make Poverty History.
Politics in Britain is in flux. Events could move in a number of directions. If you want to ensure they move towards a more democratic, sustainable an equal world, we need you to get involved. Become part of the movement.
As individuals, we're weak. But as part of a movement, we can change history. We can write the script for what comes next.
Donald Trump’s attacks on democracy, justice, and a free press are escalating — putting everything we stand for at risk. We believe a better world is possible, but we can’t get there without your support. Common Dreams stands apart. We answer only to you — our readers, activists, and changemakers — not to billionaires or corporations. Our independence allows us to cover the vital stories that others won’t, spotlighting movements for peace, equality, and human rights. Right now, our work faces unprecedented challenges. Misinformation is spreading, journalists are under attack, and financial pressures are mounting. As a reader-supported, nonprofit newsroom, your support is crucial to keep this journalism alive. Whatever you can give — $10, $25, or $100 — helps us stay strong and responsive when the world needs us most. Together, we’ll continue to build the independent, courageous journalism our movement relies on. Thank you for being part of this community. |
