Friend,

On September 23, Donald Trump issued NSPM-7, a sweeping directive aiming to criminalize dissent and ordering the FBI, IRS, and other federal law enforcement agencies to investigate a broad range of progressive nonprofits.

NSPM-7 states that organizations that espouse "anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity," "extremism on migration, race, and gender," or opposition to "traditional American views on family, religion, and morality" are "participants in criminal and terroristic conspiracies."

What do those terms even mean?

NSPM-7 then orders FBI counter-terrorism task forces and the IRS criminal division to prioritize organizations that express these views for potential prosecution.

Under NSPM-7, no organization that dares to even mildly disagree with Trump's far-right agenda is safe, including Common Dreams. But the corporate media has almost entirely ignored the order or downplayed the threat it represents.

Common Dreams has been on the leading edge, covering the stunningly dangerous implications of NSPM-7 — coverage we vote to continue. But reporting on these abuses of power also makes us a target for Trump's weaponized federal agencies, and we're asking you to stand with us in this perilous moment.

Will you donate to Common Dreams today? We need to raise $100,000 by November 1 to fund our newsroom and ensure we have the resources we need to defend our First Amendment rights should Trump try to shut us down. ([link removed])

PS: One of the very best ways to support Common Dreams is to become a monthly donor. By giving monthly, you'll provide the ongoing support we need to plan for the future — and you'll also receive far fewer fundraising emails during campaigns like this. If you believe in this mission, become a monthly donor today. ([link removed])
