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?
Because the world is screaming . . . and we are here to cover it.
