Friend,
Last year alone, 1 in 4 newspapers in the U.S. cut jobs from their newsroom.
Meanwhile, 1 in 7 digital news outlets faced layoffs as well.
But not Common Dreams.
Thanks for readers like you, we feel stronger than ever and doing some of our best work. But our model only works if support stays strong—and right now, we're very concerned.
There are just two full days left for our Fall Campaign to reach its must-hit goal. Will you donate to help us raise the remaining $19,000 we need to fund our work through the rest of the year?
Devastating layoffs in journalism aren't new—the industry has been shrinking for years. With ad revenues down, news outlets are facing increasing pressure to turn a profit for their corporate investors by cutting jobs, short-changing real journalism as a result.
But a strong, independent press has never been more important. With an impeachment inquiry, the climate in crisis, massive inequality, and the upcoming election—there's so much at stake. But without a free press to expose the real stories and cover the facts, our democracy doesn't work.
At Common Dreams, we don't fund our newsroom with corporate advertising, and we're not driven by earning a profit. We're nonprofit, independent news—our only purpose is to cover the stories that matter. But we can't do it without your help.
We have just three days left to meet our goal—and if we don't make that goal, Common Dreams could face cuts in our newsroom, too. Will you donate today?
Yes, I'll donate to keep nonprofit, independent news going at Common Dreams.
