Today marks the halfway point in our Winter fundraising campaign. But, we are not halfway to reaching our goal.

In fact, we are struggling. Because we do not advertise, sell lists or accept corporate contributions, we must rely on the loyalty of our readers to stay alive.

We won't make it without you. And, we must not fall short of our goal. Please support Common Dreams by making a contribution. We have no choice but to rely on more of our readers to help us at this crucial time.

Please, donate today. There’s never been a more critical time to support nonprofit, independent journalism.
