TWO DAYS LEFT DURING OUR FALL CAMPAIGN
The corporate media would like nothing more than to have Common Dreams
disappear and never come back. And if we were just another for-profit
news outlet, they could buy us out or cut off our advertising. But as
long as we have you, our grassroots donors, we will never get bought out
or shut down. Please help us raise the $20,000 we need to reach our Fall
Campaign goal by Friday.
Can you please chip in what you can—no amount is too large or too
small—to help us continue our coverage of these pivotal—and
perilous—times?
