Friend,
My name is David Segal, and I have worked literally almost every day for
the last 20 years in the trenches of the progressive movement. I've
knocked on doors and walked on picket lines. I've served as an
organizer, a city councilor, a state legislator, a candidate for
Congress, and a co-founder of organizations including Demand Progress.
And I can tell you that Common Dreams is absolutely indispensable for
any grassroots activist working to make bottom-up progressive change.
That's why I'm writing to you today to urge you to make a donation
to Common Dreams and their Fall Campaign.

Grassroots organizers like me don't often get invited to appear on
cable news. When we're quoted in a major newspaper, it's usually
because we elbowed our way in just to get a few words included.
Common Dreams lifts up the voices that the corporate media ignores. They
provide vital daily coverage of issues that the corporate media won't
touch, from the climate emergency and America's forever wars to the
corruption of our politics by big money.
And if Common Dreams ever went away, it would be a devastating blow to
every campaign and movement we all care so much about.
Common Dreams relies on small donations to power their work, and they
don't take a dime of corporate advertising. That's as it should be,
and it's an essential part of what makes them different.
But for that model of people-powered journalism to survive and continue,
readers like us must step up and donate. So I'm asking you to join me
and make a donation of whatever you can afford to support Common Dreams.
