The corporate media would like nothing more than to have Common Dreams
disappear and never come back. And if we were just another for-profit
news outlet, they could buy us out or cut off our advertising. But as
long as we have you, our grassroots donors, we will never get bought out
or shut down.
Our crucial Summer Campaign drive still has to raise $33,000 to reach
our goal by Friday. Will you donate to help make sure we have the
funding we need to keep standing up to the powerful forces who wish we
didn't exist?
