Friend,

Suppose you only get your news from the corporate media. In that case, chances are you've never heard of NSPM-7, the Trump order directing federal law enforcement to investigate and disrupt progressive nonprofit organizations.

But NSPM-7 might be the most dangerous attack on free speech in our lifetime — and independent news outlets like Common Dreams are squarely in its crosshairs.

NPSM-7 defines constitutionally protected speech as "domestic terrorism" if Trump disapproves of it and orders the Treasury Department to strip the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit organization that supports "anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity," "extremism on migration, race, and gender," or opposition to "traditional American views on family, religion, and morality."

That's a death penalty for any nonprofit organization that dares to criticize Trump or his far-right agenda, and the order further directs the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Forces and IRS criminal division to prioritize such organizations for potential prosecution.

Common Dreams has been on the leading edge in sounding the alarm about NSPM-7, and we have no intention of backing down.

But this reporting also makes us a target for Trump's crackdown, and we're counting on your support should Trump attempt to shut us down, intimidate our supporters, or interfere with our nonprofit newsroom in any way.

We have no choice but to reach our make-or-break Fall Campaign goal by this Saturday at midnight. If you can, please support our independent journalism with a donation of any size — $6, $16, $27, $50, or whatever you can afford. With your support, we will survive these dangerous times and come out stronger on the other side. ([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.
