Friend,

If Common Dreams ever shuts down, the cause will likely stem from one very unfortunate statistic.

Out of the millions of people who rely on Common Dreams for news and information, only about 1% ever donate.  

Of course, we could increase revenue in a number of ways: advertisements, putting up a paywall, charging a subscription fee, or posting donation requests nonstop 365 days a year.  

But we choose not to do any of that because we believe quality news and progressive opinion should be accessible to all. And if you believe in Common Dreams — and believe both a better world and a better media model are possible — we need your support.

By donating today — right now, in fact — you can become a proud member of our One Percent. You can show that there is a better way to fund journalism and, in turn, a better way to create the future we want to live in.

It takes all of us to come together, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Please join us today.

With gratitude,


Kim Monaghan
Board Chair

on behalf of the entire Common Dreams team
