There has never been a time like this. Since the coronavirus outbreak
hit, people and communities across the world have been forced to adapt
to a terrifying and disruptive new reality.
Here at Common Dreams, so much has changed but not this: our deep
dedication to the common good and our mission to make sure our readers
and supporters are provided each day with the vital news and progressive
perspective to help make sense of these tumultuous times. When times our
tough, we know our brand of independent journalism is needed more than
ever.
We know that hardship and uncertainty make it hard for many of our
readers to offer the financial support they might otherwise like to
provide, which is why we ask cautiously and with understanding for those
who are able to chip in—any amount helps and is cherished—to do so
today.

Common Dreams is here only because our readers keep us going. Together,
we will see this through.
