Friend,
I'm writing to you today to offer an update on our overall financial
situation and on our crucial Summer Campaign.
Like those of everyone else, our costs have risen in recent months,
putting significant strain on our budget.
Meanwhile, we've seen a sharp and troubling decline in the number of
readers coming to Common Dreams from Google and Facebook, evidently due
to algorithm and policy changes by the tech giants that have had the
effect of suppressing our articles.
Our amazing and dedicated readers keep coming back, but since Google and
Facebook control so much of the traffic on the internet, it's become
increasingly hard to attract new readers, which translates directly to a
decline in donations.
Taken together, these trends have created a serious crunch on our
already shoestring budget.
That's why it's so critical that we meet our Summer Campaign goal of
$75,000 by September 1. These are funds we absolutely count on to pay
our reporters and keep our servers running.
So if you value the nonprofit, independent journalism of Common Dreams,
will you make a donation to help us survive in these troubled times for
democracy?
DONATE
Thank you,Â
Aaron Kaufman
Director of Development
for the whole Common Dreams team
