Friend,

Common Dreams is no stranger to uphill battles. After all, we were founded to lift up the voices fighting for a safe and clean environment, global peace, and economic justice against the greediest, most violent corporations and corrupt governments in the world.

So, how have we survived all these years? We have succeeded for one reason: many, many people who believe in us — our work, mission, and model — chip in at whatever level they can to ensure that independent media exists as a counter to the corporate-funded news model.  

But uphill battles are not always won.  

That’s why today is a crucial day in this fight. If we don’t turn around this Summer Campaign now, there’s a growing chance we won’t hit our must-reach goal. Please join us to help make sure Common Dreams is here tomorrow and in the years to come.

Nothing is guaranteed in this life, but with you joining with so many others who share our vision for what’s possible in this world, we’ll make it.

With solidarity and gratitude,


Kim Monaghan

Board Chair

on behalf of the entire Common Dreams team
