Democracy is hanging by a thread, and the next 8-10 months could determine what kind of future we have.

Friend,

If you’re not worried about the future of democracy, you’re not paying attention.

The Republican National Committee has embraced the January 6 insurrection as “legitimate political discourse.” The corporate forces that have taken over the U.S. Supreme Court show no signs of letting up. Trump backers are running for key state election administration offices, where they can undermine upcoming elections all over the country.

Friend, the next 8 to10 months could easily determine whether democracy survives in the years to come. High-quality journalism you can trust will play a critical role in this fight to save democracy, and there’s no bigger priority for Common Dreams in the weeks and months to come.

Here’s what we have planned:

In-depth coverage of the ongoing wave of voter suppression and election nullification laws moving through state legislatures in response to Trump’s Big Lie.

Unapologetically straightforward reporting on what Democrats in Congress and the Biden administration are doing—and failing to do—to protect voting rights at the national level.

Detailed coverage of the white supremacist and conspiracy theory groups pushing lies and disinformation about voter fraud and stolen elections.

And perhaps most important, we will provide daily coverage of the grassroots movements working to defend democracy, including information about what you as a citizen in a democracy can do to fight back.

To make sure we have the resources to implement this plan while also maintaining all our other critical reporting, we’ve set a Winter Fundraising Campaign goal of $80,000 to raise by March 1.

This kind of nonprofit, independent media is only possible with the financial support of our readers. Can you chip in right now to help make sure we don’t fall short?
