Friend,
In just five days, world leaders will gather in Glasgow to craft the next phase of the global response to the climate emergency that’s causing massive wildfires, flooding, historic droughts, and deadly superstorms all over the world.
It would be no understatement to say this is one of the most important international meetings in human history. But if you rely on the corporate media for your news, you probably have no idea that it’s even happening.
And I’ll tell you what: I’m fed up.
These same news outlets spend endless hours covering celebrity gossip and lavishing attention on the latest Beltway squabble. And yet they have no time to cover vital negotiations about solving one of the most dangerous threats humanity has ever faced?
Common Dreams was created to cover the news that the corporate media won’t, and it’s clearer than ever why our reporting is so badly needed. If it’s left to the corporate media alone, the planet will burn.
But we have a problem: traffic to Common Dreams from the big social media networks and search engines has fallen off a cliff in recent months. These Big Tech giants have tweaked their algorithms and pushed nonprofit, progressive news outlets like ours far down in news feeds and search results. Fewer readers mean fewer donations, and that’s a big, big problem.
Our crucial Fall Campaign fundraising drive is nearly halfway done, and we must hit our goal to fund our coverage of the climate emergency and other issues the corporate media ignores. Will you donate today and help keep Common Dreams alive in these dangerous times?
