Friend,

$6. That’s the average price of a 16-ounce pumpkin spice latte.

If that seems like a lot to spend for one heavily sweetened cup of coffee, we agree... but apparently, they sell like crazy, because every year, they keep coming back.

But imagine if everyone who got this email donated $6 to support the independent journalism of Common Dreams. That would be enough to power our entire nonprofit newsroom for the rest of this year, and it would give us a good start on next year as well.

Will you chip in $6 (or more, if you can afford it) to help Common Dreams meet our make-or-break Fall Campaign goal by November 1?

Common Dreams is a people-powered and reader-funded news outlet that exists to inform and inspire those fighting worldwide for a better future.

But when we say we might not survive without your support, that’s no bluff. Independent and digital news outlets are shutting down all around us.

So please, to keep Common Dreams alive, skip one of those coffee purchases and donate to Common Dreams.
