The 1% own and operate the corporate media. They are doing everything
they can to defend the status quo, squash dissent and protect the
wealthy and the powerful. The Common Dreams media model is different. We
cover the news that matters to the 99%. Our mission? To inform. To
inspire. To ignite change for the common good.
We must raise $75,000 during our Summer Campaign. Can you help?
