Our reporting for years has warned it could come to this. We covered the sad trail that led to this moment—lifting up the voices of those who raged against such an outcome and those who did everything possible to stand in its path.
Today, as a team, we share in the despair, frustration, and outrage that tens of millions are feeling. We are not here to exploit that grief or anger, but it seems ridiculous—impossible—not to recognize it.
As a reader and supporter of Common Dreams, we know you understand the importance of our work and how vital it remains especially during these darkest of times.
And we have a theory of why Common Dreams readers keep coming back to support us, even when the news we provide can be so discouraging. It’s because we deliver something that corporate news sources never will:
We deliver hope because we cover, engage, inspire, and lift up those who make hope possible.
