Friend,

We have some unfortunate news to share.

We launched our Giving Tuesday fundraising drive on Saturday, with a goal of raising $50,000 to keep Common Dreams' progressive journalism strong during these dangerous times.

But now Giving Tuesday is here, and we’re not even halfway to that must-hit goal.

This is make-or-break. Please donate $27 — or whatever you can afford — to help Common Dreams meet our all-important Giving Tuesday goal.

Giving Tuesday is one of the most important fundraising days of the year, and if we fall short, there are no second chances or do-overs.

This year, Giving Tuesday is even more vital. Congress is about to give Donald Trump sweeping new authority to strip nonprofit news outlets like Common Dreams of our tax-exempt status.


Given our history of lifting up pro-Palestinian voices, exposing corporate crimes, and standing up to Trump, we must operate under the assumption that we will be targeted should this bill become law. And even if this bill is stopped, Trump will find other ways to come after those who dare to stand up to him.

We’re in the fight of our lives. Will you support us today, Giving Tuesday, to keep Common Dreams alive?

With solidarity and gratitude,

Kim Monaghan
Board Chair
on behalf of the entire Common Dreams team
