Friend,

We get it. No one reads Common Dreams for our fundraising emails, and we’ve been sending a lot lately.

But the cold, hard truth is that if we fall short of our Mid-Year Campaign goal, the future of Common Dreams is in serious doubt.

However, there’s something you may not realize about how our fundraising campaigns work: If you’re a regular monthly donor, you’re automatically removed from our regular fundraising list.

That’s right. Monthly donors get constant gratitude, not endless emails.

Sign up to donate monthly at whatever level you can afford to support the nonprofit progressive journalism of Common Dreams, and you’ll automatically receive a tiny fraction of the communications and requests for donations. ([link removed])

We don’t have a paywall and don’t take corporate ads. We have no secret billionaire mega-donor behind us, and we wouldn’t want one.

Tens of thousands of small donations power everything we do, cobbled together from readers. That’s what allows Common Dreams to pursue our mission without compromise: To inform. To inspire. To ignite change for the common good.

But we have to be honest with you: we’re facing the most difficult and dangerous time that we’ve ever seen for progressive journalism.

Donald Trump has declared all-out war on the nonprofit sector and the free press. Meanwhile, the MAGA oligarchs who control so much of what people see and read online are systematically suppressing links to Common Dreams stories in their search results and news feeds. Hmmm, we wonder why?

Monthly donors provide us with the ongoing base of support we need to plan and expand for the future. That’s why we’ve set an ambitious goal of doubling our monthly donors by July 1, which will put us on solid financial footing for the long term.

Will you become a monthly donor to Common Dreams today? You can give any amount from $5 to $10 or $50 and cancel your donation at any time. ([link removed])

P.S. If you want to support Common Dreams but aren’t ready to make a monthly donation, you can also make a one-time donation here. ([link removed])

With solidarity and gratitude,

on behalf of the entire Common Dreams team
