Hi Friend,
Common Dreams was founded on the belief that real change is possible when enough well-informed, well-intentioned people join together and demand it.
But with Big Tech oligarchs, lawless authoritarians, and genocidal warmongers seemingly getting their way at every turn, one might be tempted to wonder… Is it even still possible to make a difference?
The answer, my friends, is a resounding yes.
We see evidence of it all around us.
Progressive candidates are winning elections despite getting outspent by tens of millions of dollars by AIPAC and other corporate interests. Communities are rising up to stop polluting AI data centers. Worker organizing drives have pushed union membership in the U.S. to the highest level in nearly two decades.
That's what terrifies the authoritarians and oligarchs — and why they're doing everything they can to silence independent media outlets like Common Dreams.
So if you, like us, still believe in the power of independent media to drive progress, please donate to our Summer Campaign.
