Dear Friend,

We join with people around the world today in congratulating the
Guardian newspaper in its "huge" decision to ban fossil fuel
advertisements as a way to address the climate crisis. As I write this,
our top headline is about how important this step is, and we highlight
the "watershed moment" it represents in the global effort to loosen the
grip on society that the oil, gas, and coal companies hold. Common
Dreams, however, is not among those media outlets now being asked to
join the Guardian in this brave move. Why not? Because we banned fossil
fuel advertisements on our pages the very day we were founded—more than
two decades ago. Our reader-funded model has allowed us to be
unequivocal in our climate coverage over these decades—never fearful of
upsetting the wrong person or losing a corporate sponsor. But this model
only ever works because of readers like you. So please, applaud the
Guardian and any other outlet that joins them. It's a great step. But
don't forget independent outlets who long ago made the decision that the
only way to save the world and provide unvarnished coverage of our
warming planet was by eschewing support from the deadly forces set on
destroying it. Can you help us today so we can keep up our tireless
coverage tomorrow?
