Several times a year we must launch brief fundraising drives which provide us with most of our annual budget. Relying on contributions from our readers guarantees us the independence to speak truth to power. But to survive, we must ask for your support.

Whether you give $15, $50 or $500—every amount gets us closer to our goal for this Mid-Year Campaign. Can you please help today?

Yes! I Support Common Dreams
