Friend,

"If the planet could talk, it would be screaming in agony or weeping in
despair. Maybe both."

Even as fires rage in the Amazon and elsewhere across the planet, and
just as the U.S. west prepares for the height of its wildfire season,
President Trump, as Common Dreams reports just this morning, has ordered
the U.S. Department of Agriculture to open Alaska's 16.7 million acre
Tongass National Forest—the planet's largest intact temperate rain
forest—to logging and other corporate development projects.

The world's most essential ecosystems are under assault—and that means
we are all under assault. But Common Dreams is dedicated to bringing you
the news that matters each and every day of the year so that you—and
people around the world—understand what's at stake and have the
information needed to fight back.

Only with support from readers like you can we make sure that stories
like this get the coverage they deserve. Because without you, we simply
don't exist.

With just days left in our crucial Summer Campaign, can you chip in
right now so that we are stronger than ever to keep our newsroom running
at full steam?
