Dear Farhad,
Sometimes, if you look really closely, you can see the silver lining in those proverbial dark clouds.
Now more than ever we need to see them, ‘cause the clouds have become really ominous.
We at Common Dreams know that it’s important to celebrate the small victories along the way. That’s why we seek out the news & views that inspire us and celebrate the glimmers of hope in dark times.
Third-generation union activist Mike Elk pointed out this week that "[t]he attack on workers’ rights in Wisconsin has proven to be a training ground for activists in a lot of ways that are going to pay long-term benefits..."
And he is right. Out of this right-wing assault on the workers, the elderly, our children and our democratic principles, a new generation of progressive activists is being born. And across the globe - people are realizing that they have power when they come together - and stand strong against repression and injustice.
Help us make the silver linings shine brighter.
Your tax-deductible contributions provide our operating support, enabling us to keep moving forward -- gathering and sharing both the storm clouds on the horizon and the silver lining inside. We accept no corporate support. We sell no advertising. We are beholden to no corporate interests. Common Dreams only exists because of the generous support of our readers.
Today we need to ask for your help. Can you make a one-time gift or become a monthly supporter?
Please help keep Common Dreams alive. We still need to raise $32,000 to meet our budget this campaign. If you haven’t given yet, please do now to help us keep Common Dreams alive.
We can't do it without you!
Craig, Andrea, Jon, Malory, Abby and the whole Common Dreams team
