Our crucial
Summer Campaign is underway.

Defending democracy in times like this requires journalism with the
courage to side with democracy against authoritarianism. That's why
Common Dreams remains so essential.

The success or failure of this drive will determine whether we will have
the resources to provide the kind of coverage our democracy needs and
you expect. Can you make a donation to help keep the hard-hitting,
independent journalism of Common Dreams alive?
