Friend,
When the coronavirus pandemic hit, people started flooding to trusted news sources to get accurate information about the disease and the government’s response.
At Common Dreams, the spike in traffic was so massive that it caused our website to crash for a 12-hour period at the worst possible time, just as Congress debated a $2 trillion bailout for corporations.
We can NEVER let that happen again. Will you make a donation to help provide the increased bandwidth and server capacity for the surge in readers during the COVID-19 crisis?
Check out this chart. It’s not the rise in COVID-19 cases. It’s traffic to our website:
 www.alexa.com
We’re deeply honored that during these times, we are the news source you trust. We know what a serious responsibility that is.
Our journalists are working harder than ever, separating fact from misinformation on the pandemic and watchdogging the Trump administration’s failed response and corporate bailouts.
But for an online news outlet like Common Dreams, if our website goes down, we essentially cease to exist.
As a nonprofit news operation, we accept no advertising and count on you, or readers, for funding. With your help, we are significantly increasing our bandwidth and server capacity. Many of our most loyal readers simply can’t afford to donate during these times. But if you can, please give whatever you can to make sure that we never, ever go dark in a crisis again.
Donate now to pay for the increased bandwidth and server capacity we need to meet reader demand during the COVID-19 pandemic and reach our $60,000 spring campaign goal by May 1.
