Friend,

Most news outlets pay the bills by selling advertising to corporate clients, but then they’re beholden to those corporate paymasters. Others charge a subscription fee, but that would defeat the purpose of our mission: To inform. To inspire. To ignite change for the common good.

We believe in journalism made available to all people, regardless of their ability to pay. And we don’t think we need to bow to corporate interests or woo a plutocrat to do it.

In recent years, more and more news outlets have made money by collecting and selling your personal data. We’re sure as hell are never going to do that.

Our core conviction is that we best serve our mission by raising money from you, our readers, so that we’re accountable only to you. That’s been the model from the beginning, and that will always remain the model.

What would explain the demise of Common Dreams, should that day ever come? The explanation will be simple. People stopped donating to support this mission.

We publish reporting that you can trust every day; that’s our part. Your part? Support our work with whatever donation—large, medium, or small—that you can afford. The work is hard. But our model is simple.

Make a year-end donation right now to help support the progressive, people-powered journalism of Common Dreams, and we’ll automatically remove you from our email fundraising list for the remainder of this campaign. ([link removed])

They say nothing lasts forever, but so long as we have readers like you, we’ll continue to deliver the best damn news and opinion that we can.
DONATE ([link removed])

With solidarity and gratitude,

Jon Queally

Managing Editor

on behalf of the entire Common Dreams team

P.S. One of the very best ways to support Common Dreams is to become a monthly donor. By giving monthly, you’ll provide us with the ongoing support we need to plan for the future — and you’ll receive far fewer fundraising emails. If you believe in this mission, become a monthly donor today. ([link removed])
