Common Dreams was launched based on a bold idea: instead of taking ads
or charging a subscription fee, we would fund a nonprofit, progressive
news organization by pooling together many small donations from our
readers. We are still here because of you.
If you're one of the millions relying on Common Dreams for news you can
trust, we need you now. We have to raise an additional $39,000 during
our Fall Campaign. Will you make a donation to help us reach our goal?
