The past two years have been rough for online news outlets, including Common Dreams.
The economic hardships from the pandemic and the news-throttling by Facebook and Google have hurt the bottom line of all news operations, especially nonprofit independent ones like ours. Expect more layoffs and shuttered news sites in the weeks and months to come.
Many news outlets are now trying to make up for lost revenue by locking
their content behind paywalls. In other words: "If you can't pay, you can't read the news."
Common Dreams will never be locked behind a paywall because we believe our journalism should remain freely available to everyone ― not just those who can afford to pay.
Join us in saying NO! to paywalls. By becoming a sustaining monthly donor today, you can help make sure our work remains free for those who aren't able to chip in.
