Friend,


It could happen here. We can see it clearly.


We are the precipice of something we have not yet seen. If you’re not alarmed, you’re not paying attention. Pay attention.


Common Dreams was built to be a guardian against fascism, a defender of the common good, and a promoter of a better world. In the days and weeks ahead, we will find out how much of each we’ll need to be.


Though we cannot know the outcome, we know we will all need one another more than ever. Our Fall Campaign — which ends just over 24 hours from now — is about one thing and one thing only: being ready for what comes next.


With much on the line and recognizing the vital role of independent journalism in terrifying times like these, a generous donor has agreed to match — dollar for dollar — every donation that comes in over the next 24 hours.


What if the knock on the door is for you? What if the knock on the door is for us?


We can’t let this be our future. This is why we fight.

With solidarity and gratitude,

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