Friend,
At Common Dreams, we don't accept corrupt corporate advertising, and we refuse to put our content behind a paywall because the last thing we want to do is lock out readers who can't afford it.
Instead, we rely on donations from our readers to fund our work—and it's been that way for nearly 25 years. It's what allows us to have the independent, progressive voice we have.
I'll be honest, though—it's sometimes a little scary. If you're a corporate news outlet like CNN, you can always count on ad revenue. The New York Times knows how many subscribers they have and can budget pretty far into the future.
But there's no guarantee that people will keep donating to Common Dreams—and since we operate on a shoestring budget, the money that's donated today goes directly toward the reporting you count on us to deliver tomorrow.
And now, with skyrocketing unemployment and a raging pandemic, many of our most loyal readers simply can't give what they would like at the worst possible time for our country.
The stakes have never been higher.
Between now and November, America will make a choice between whether to keep going down this disastrous path or say "No! No to fascism. No to racism." This is an absolutely vital time for Common Dreams to be on the beat, reporting the news every day.
We've set a goal of raising $75,000 by July 1 to fund our work through the rest of this critical election season. Will you donate today and make sure we can keep speaking truth to power and providing the progressive, independent journalism you count on us for?
