Friend,
Donald Trump is using all the powers of his office to undermine our democracy and steal the election.
And now, just weeks from the start of voting in the most dangerous election of our lives, a change to Facebook's news feed policies has cut Common Dreams off from a significant portion of our audience.
This is a disaster for our model of journalism. From the start, Common Dreams has been an online-only news source. We don't have daily subscribers, a print edition, or a big advertising budget. We rely on people finding our journalism on the internet, and for millions of Americans, Facebook essentially *is* the internet.
Facebook's policy changes have resulted in a sharp and sudden drop in our online traffic at the worst possible time, as Trump is engineering a slow-motion coup to undermine our democracy and keep in power.
To get our readership back up where it needs to be in the run up to November, we're implementing new strategies for getting our news coverage out to readers, including expanding our presence across all social media, making sure our stories rank as high as possible in online news searches, and more.
We need to raise $80,000 by September 1 to hit our emergency pre-election Summer Fundraising Campaign goal and make sure we have the resources to fully cover Trump's attempts to steal the election AND overcome Facebook's suppression of our news stories.
Will you donate now to help reach our emergency pre-election Summer Fundraising Campaign goal of $80,000 by September 1?
