Friend,
We believe that journalists are essential, frontline workers.
We believe that with a pandemic spiraling out of control, people desperately need information they can trust.
And we believe that hard-hitting journalism is essential to hold the Trump administration accountable for their deadly incompetence.
So today, as we face this unprecedented public-health crisis together, Common Dreams is launching our spring fundraising campaign to ensure that we can continue to provide the nonprofit progressive journalism you count on every day.
Donate to help us reach our spring campaign goal of $60,000 by May 1.
Since the coronavirus pandemic broke out, traffic to our website has gone through the roof.
Common Dreams is now just outside the top 100 news websites in the world, according to Alexa, getting more visitors than corporate news sites, which have significant advertising revenue and massive Fortune 500 parent companies.
And our small, dedicated newsroom team is working harder and longer than ever before because we know how much you count on us.
But during this pandemic, we are absorbing new expenses, like paying for increased server capacity to handle the surge traffic and the new day-to-day costs of operating a virtual, socially distanced newsroom. Meanwhile, like many of you, we are working from home, juggling parenting, and social distancing while keeping a close eye on our own friends' and families' health.
We know that many of you are facing severe financial hardship at this time and that some of you who have donated in the past won't be able to this time around. Common Dreams is a news outlet for everyone, not just people who can afford to give—and that's why we have never put our news behind a paywall and never will.
Common Dreams is the one news source that cares about making the world a better place. We don't just transcribe the events of the day, checking our values at the door. We believe in providing the news in a way that makes a better world possible. And that is needed now more than ever.
That's why, at this moment, we are asking everyone who relies on our work to chip in whatever they can—and help reach our spring fundraising goal of $60,000 by May 1 so we can continue providing journalism that is so needed in these times.
Make a donation now to help kick off our Spring Fundraising Campaign and fund the nonprofit, progressive journalism you count on during this crisis.
