Friend,

The 2020 election will be one of the most consequential of our lifetime.

What's on the line?

A Green New Deal. Medicare for All. An end to this inhumane system of
mass incarceration and deportation. A wealth tax. Sane foreign policy.

But voters are hearing more about which candidate is ahead in the polls
than where those candidates stand on the issues at stake or what they
would do if elected.

The corporate media is obsessed with horse-race politics—who's up in the
polls, who's down, who's raised the most money. But at Common Dreams, we
cover politics differently. As an independent, nonprofit news source,
our purpose is to report the news that matters, every single day.

We know that voters need real information about the candidates—where
they stand on the issues, not just where they stand in the latest poll.
That's why our coverage is so different—and why it's so important.

We're in the middle of a crisis for our democracy. It's more important
than ever that voters have real information about where the candidates
stand on the critical issues of our time—like the climate emergency,
inequality, and the integrity of our elections themselves.

But we won't be able to continue without your support. As a nonprofit,
we don't take corporate advertising dollars, and we don't have
private-equity investors demanding an ever-increasing profit. We're
accountable to you, our readers, and we rely on you to help fund the
news we put out every day.

We need to raise $50,000 during this crucial Fall Campaign, and time is
running short. Will you donate to help keep nonprofit, independent
journalism alive as we approach this crucial election?
