We’re covering the stories the corporate media never will.

Friend,

Last Monday, Donald Trump was indicted by a grand jury for crimes related to his attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.

But on the same day, Common Dreams reported a different kind of indictment when Global Witness released a damning report showing that just five oil companies will emit more than one-eighth of the total climate pollution needed to push the planet past a catastrophic tipping point by 2050.

Which of these is the greater crime? And why was one of these stories given wall-to-wall coverage while the corporate media entirely ignored the other?

Common Dreams was founded to cover the issues that the corporate media never will—the issues that require a well-informed citizenry to take action and demand change. Our work is needed now more than ever, and we’re entirely dependent on the donations of readers like you to fund our work.

To meet our mission-critical Summer Campaign fundraising goal, we’re asking our readers to make a donation and help support the nonprofit, independent journalism of Common Dreams.
