Friend,

In the final months of Donald Trump's disastrous presidency, the great
journalist Bill Moyers said: "Truth is the oxygen of democracy . . . and
unless we see the truth, we are going to run out of oxygen."

Donald Trump is no longer in office, but American democracy is still
running dangerously low on oxygen.

Decades of lies pushed by right-wing media have created a massive
segment of the population that is easily convinced that global warming
is a hoax, that COVID-19 is not a threat, and that a fair-and-square
election was stolen.

The fight for the survival of our democracy is a battle against these
toxic lies.

Common Dreams was founded nearly 25 years ago with the mission to
inform, inspire, and ignite change for the common good. We built a
nonprofit, ad-free, reader-supported news outlet run by progressives,
funded by progressives, and operated in the name of progressive values.

But further progress toward our shared goals of a better, more
equitable, and peaceful world is now threatened by lies and
misinformation spread by Fox News, OAN, Breitbart, and Sinclair, and
countless far-right conspiracy theorists on social media who have
hijacked an entire political party and are cutting off the oxygen our
democracy needs to stay alive.

Our democracy is suffocating in lies. Will you make a donation to help
keep democracy alive and beat back the conspiracy theorists and
right-wing media standing in the way of our common dreams?
