What a news week! Our journalists have been working even harder than usual to cover it all. And the months ahead promise to be a time when independent, progressive journalism will be more needed than ever. But we can’t do it without our readers' help. Monthly donations to Common Dreams form the core of our budget. Thousands of readers just like you give an average of $10/month to make our nonprofit, independent journalism possible. As more of our readers become monthly donors, our dependence on fundraising campaigns will decrease, and we'll be better able to plan for the future. We've been working really hard recently to grow Common Dreams’ monthly sustaining donor base. However, to stay on track, we still need to recruit 82 new monthly donors this week. Can you help? YES!
