Friend,

Elon Musk has pumped more than $75 million into a pro-Trump super PAC, and he’s now begun giving away a daily $1 million award for people who register to vote in battleground states and sign his pro-Trump petition — a clear violation of federal laws against vote-buying.


Think about it for just one moment, the sheer lunacy of it all. This is the world’s richest man — a self-involved, union-busting wannabe Martian — trying to purchase the White House and place inside it one of the most vile, narcissistic, uncaring, greedy, and unhinged individuals to ever walk the earth.


What stands against them and their right-wing allies? Good people like you and the common dreams we share: a more economically equal world with less war, cleaner energy, and a better future for our children and the generations to come.


Common Dreams’ role in realizing this better world is keeping you informed — 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year — about the ins and outs of this global battle which rages on whether we like it or not.


We receive no corporate advertising and have no paywall. As a nonprofit media outlet, our financial support during these occasional drives is the only thing that keeps the servers on and our dedicated journalists paid.


Please, if you can, donate now to help meet our Fall Fundraising campaign goal and support the progressive, nonprofit journalism of Common Dreams.


Countless good people yearning for something better — something we call common dreams — versus the despicable greed and dangerous, dead-end ideologies of a few lousy oligarchs? We got this.

With solidarity and gratitude,

Jon Queally
Managing Editor
on behalf of the entire Common Dreams team
