June 3, 2011
Dear Farhad,
Around the world the mood is shifting, the winds of change are gathering force.
2011 will be a critical year for the progressive community as we join together to stand up to the right-wing, corporate interests that have seized control of our political process, our media and our lives. 
Common Dreams is committed to doing our part to ignite change for the common good. Can you stand with us?
I think you'll agree our work is more important than ever. While the mainstream media at best, serves up infotainment, and at worst, serves as a cheerleader for the warmongers and corporations, Common Dreams works tirelessly to bring you the truth.
The truth isn’t always pretty - it’s too often nightmarish:
- Endless wars, costing hundreds of thousands of innocent lives and trillions of dollars wasted.
- Wall Street bailouts. Tax breaks for the rich. Privatizing our commons. More pain for working families, the elderly, children, the sick and the poor.
- Inaction as global warming and unchecked consumption threaten the very existence of our planet.
But Common Dreams also brings you inspiring stories of people power -- from Egypt’s Tahrir Square, to Madrid’s Puerta del Sol, to Madison, Wisconsin and all over the globe -- growing glimmers of hope in these dark times
Every day of every week, for the past 14 years, our small staff has worked tirelessly to bring you the news -- and the views of the best progressive writers and thinkers of our time.
That’s why I'm urgently asking for your help today. Our work can’t continue without you.
Common Dreams is 100-percent supported by you - our readers.
No advertising. No corporate sponsors. No selling or renting our email list.
Instead, we have always relied on the grassroots support of individuals like you.
Please help us meet our current budget goal of $50,000.
We can't do it without you.
With thanks,
Craig Brown
for the whole Common Dreams team
P.S. Your donation – however large or small -- will help us help you keep the momentum building. Can you stand with us today?
