Friend,
Business-as-usual is killing people.
The 1% own and operate corporate media. The ultra-wealthy are doing everything they can to defend the status quo, squash dissent, and protect their own.
When their rich talking heads flood our airwaves endlessly with a message of 'realism,' they are not talking about what is possible—they are arguing for inaction.
- "The Green New Deal is fantasy. A pipe dream."
- Medicare for All is "not affordable—not realistic."
- In the "real world," incremental, market-driven ideas are the only climate proposals that can ever get passed.
- Slashing Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare are “intelligent cuts” that serious people know are necessary to balance the budget.
The corporate media are not in the business of creating a better world. The corporate media bring us news that delivers their "framed" world view. They control the narrative. And profit always takes precedence over the common good.
The Common Dreams media model is different. We cover the news that matters to the 99%. Our mission? To inform. To inspire. To ignite change for the common good.
The status quo cannot survive. Business-as-usual is over. Change is coming whether the 1% like it or not.
But whether we have good change or bad change, that is up to all of us.
We rely on you—our community of readers—to keep us able to report the kind of news this historical moment demands.
Can you help ignite change for the common good, Friend?
We know another world is possible. But we can't do it without you.
