Friend,
I want to share with you a statistic that is sad but true: less than 1% of all Common Dreams readers ever make a donation.
Is it because people aren't interested in our journalism? No, because then people wouldn't read us at all, and traffic is as strong as it's ever been.
Is it because people can't afford it? Certainly there are many who truly can't afford to give anything—we understand that deeply, and we will never paywall or lock people out.
For many, however, we know they don't support the work because they believe someone else will and it won't really make a difference in the end—but that is wrong.
Common Dreams only works if those who believe in it support it. If just a slightly larger fraction of those who depend on us would give just a small amount—any number will do—we could meet our fundraising needs in no time at all.
In this one case, it would be good to be part of the “one percent.” Please join the 1% of Common Dreams readers who donate to help keep progressive, nonprofit journalism alive. Maybe this year, with your help, we can get it to 2%.
