Friend,

Common Dreams was founded on the idealistic principle — some just called it crazy — that honest, independent journalism should be supported by donations from readers, not corporate advertisers.

You can see the difference every day in the issues we highlight, the voices we lift up, and our refusal to go along with the “both-sides” false equivalence of the corporate media that requires every fact to be offset with a right-wing lie — or neoliberal talking point — for the sake of balance or so-called “objectivity.”

But here’s the thing: our model only works if you, our readers, support it, and our Summer Campaign is absolutely do-or-die.

We simply can’t make it without you. Please chip in whatever you can — $10, $50, $100, or more — to support Common Dreams.

With gratitude,


Kim Monaghan
Board Chair

on behalf of the entire Common Dreams team
