No matter which issue you're most passionate about, progress is
virtually impossible without an active citizenry informed by independent
journalism.

Friend,
Nearly everywhere you look, the world is on fire ... in many cases,
quite literally.
Devastating wars in Ukraine, Gaza, and elsewhere. Democracy in retreat
in the face of right-wing autocracy around the world. The climate
emergency raging. And as part of the Common Dreams community, we know
that you care deeply about all these issues and so many others.
But no matter which issue you're most passionate about, progress is
impossible without an active citizenry informed by independent
journalism.
And right now, independent journalism is in deep, deep trouble.
Since 1990, the number of people working for newspapers in the U.S. has
plunged by 80%-even as the U.S. population has increased by a third.
Digital news, once hailed as the great hope for the future of
journalism, is now in a state of crisis, thanks to rising costs and
changes in social media and search engine algorithms squelching
independent outlets like ours.
Here at Common Dreams, we've survived for one reason and one reason
only: the support of readers like you. Your donations, some large and
some as small as $5, make everything we do possible.
In these
dark times, the world can't afford to lose any more independent news
outlets. That's why we're asking you to help support Common Dreams
by donating to our Fall Campaign today.

In solidarity and with deep gratitude,
Kimberly Monaghan
Board Chair
on behalf of the entire Common Dreams team
