“It is a stunning and hopeful truth. The world we must now create if there is to be a human future is also the world of our common dream.”
-David Korten, April 2011
Dear Farhad,
The ground is moving. If you put your feet down, you will feel it. If you place your ear to the ground, you will hear it.
At Common Dreams we track and assess these vibrations every single day of the year. Watching, analyzing and delivering the news to you is our mission, of course, but it is also the contribution we make to the greater progressive community that we cherish and revere.
Today, amid the familiar greed and regressive policies of the corporate and political class, we also feel something less familiar: the stirring of a revolutionary spirit that not long ago seemed impossible. It is these stirrings that make profound demands upon us all.
Common Dreams is ready for the fight that history has set before us. To meet this incredible challenge, we are forced to ask more of ourselves, and in turn, we also ask more of our supporters. Can you help us in this fight? Will you help us meet and exceed our goals?
To contribute to our work, you can make a secure, tax-deductible online donation with your credit card, or with Paypal. Alternatively, you can print our donation form and mail it to us with a check. No gift is too large or too small.
David Korten is right. Our dreams will be the solutions the future will demand. But for today, we understand that working for those dreams is our duty, that our commitment is our strength, and hope that someday soon, when the future bends its ear to a distant tremor, it will be our marching feet and righteous roars that come rumbling back.
Common Dreams will continue to fight, and with your help and commitment we will all celebrate a better future together.
In solidarity and with sincere gratitude,
Jon Queally
Assistant Editor
Common Dreams
