, When we launched our End-of-Year Campaign to raise $100,000 by January 1, we knew from experience that we’d need about 5,000 donations to meet that goal. Given the hundreds of thousands of people who get our emails and regularly visit our website, that should be totally achievable.
However, right now, with just a few days left, not even half that many people have chipped in. That’s a big, big problem.
Common Dreams is a news site for working people, not for the rich or corporations. So the only way we’ve survived as long as we have is by pooling together thousands and thousands of small donations that, together, allow us to fund our small but mighty team of reporters and editors.
