Our Summer Campaign is Underway
Imagine a news room that never has to worry about upsetting a corporate
advertiser. Imagine an editorial team that brings its progressive values
and worldview to the newsroom each day. Imagine an outlet that worries
about peace and justice, the common good, and the survivability of the
planet instead of quarterly earnings, the needs of private equity
investors, or a publisher trying to maximize returns.
While the corporate media system lies to its audience day after day,
Common Dreams has a different model. But this model is only possible
because of you. Can you please chip in what you can—no amount is too
large or too small—to help keep us going?
