Friend,

The world seems like a pretty dark place right now.

Economic inequality off the charts. The climate emergency. Unparalleled death and suffering in Gaza. Supreme Court corruption in the U.S. and corporate capture worldwide. Democracy in many nations coming apart at the seams. Fascism threatens.

It’s enough to make you want to throw up your hands or wish for some powerful being to come along and save us.

But the truth is this: no heroes are coming to save us.

The only path to real and progressive change is when well-informed, well-intentioned people—fed up with being kicked around by the rich and the powerful and the wicked—get organized and fight for the better world we all deserve.

That’s why we created Common Dreams: to provide the news and information that everyday people need to wage the battles for social justice, human rights, equality, and peace. We cover the issues that corporate media never will and lift up voices others would rather keep silent.

But the only way this people-powered media model can survive is with the support of readers like you. And today, we’re launching our Mid-Year Campaign to raise the $100,000 we need to meet our basic operating expenses for the weeks and months ahead.

Common Dreams feels most essential when the days are darkest. The pain and anger we all feel must not lead to despair, but inspire us to dig deeper and fight harder. This is urgent. We cannot afford to fail.

So we’re asking: Will you donate $27 or whatever you can afford—to support Common Dreams right now? We are ready to do our part but need your help today. ([link removed])
