Friend,
Every day, people of goodwill like you are working to stop Donald Trump’s assault on the rule of law and stop America from tipping into full-on authoritarianism.
Meanwhile, the corporate media is bending over backward to normalize Trump's fascist onslaught as merely “testing boundaries,” “disrupting norms,” and “challenging conventions.”
It’s honestly been some of the most outrageous corporate media coverage that we’ve ever seen.
The good news is that the public is far ahead of the corporate media and most politicians. They’re rallying in the streets, speaking with one voice to say that in this world, we don’t do authoritarianism.
Looking ahead to 2026, to continue building the powerful movement we need, the public needs independent news outlets unafraid to call bullshit on Trump’s lies and willing to take a clear side against fascism, genocide, and kleptocracy.
That’s what Common Dreams is committed to doing every day, but with so much at stake in the year ahead, we need to increase our fundraising to expand our capacity in this make-or-break moment.
Our End-of-Year Campaign is our most crucial fundraising drive of the entire year, and we’ve set a make-or-break goal of raising $125,000 by January 1. Will you make a year-end donation to support the nonprofit, progressive journalism of Common Dreams?
