Friend,
Yesterday, a story hit our inboxes that we immediately knew was huge news.
New research finds that unless we take action, one in three freshwater fish species are headed for near-certain extinction, threatening the food supply and livelihoods of 200 million people around the globe.
This is a COVID-19 level disaster headed right for us—and we put it right at the top of our headlines.
But the rest of the corporate media? They have almost totally ignored it. Just like they ignored warnings of other completely predictable disasters, from the global climate emergency to the threat of a global pandemic like the one we’re facing right now.
The corporate media is failing us because their mission is to drive ratings, generate clicks, and sell advertising. Our mission couldn’t be more different. We exist to inform, enlighten, and inspire action for the common good.
That’s why Common Dreams was created nearly 25 years ago, and it’s why our mission is more critical than ever.
We have just five and half days left in our Winter Fundraising Campaign—and we’re behind. In fact, we’re quite a bit behind, as donations are falling across the progressive movement, without Trump inspiring daily outrage and disgust.
The literal survival of humanity is on the line, and we can’t rely on the corporate media to alert the public of these dangers. It’s up to us, together.
Will you make a donation to Common Dreams and help make sure we can keep providing the vital coverage on these life-or-death issues that the corporate media ignores?
