More Important Than Anguish or Anger

At our best, Common Dreams is a galvanizing force for the millions of brave and committed people around the world who hold sacred this vision of a more sustainable, just, and beautiful world. [Browser View](1f9d0/ct0_0/1?sid=TV2%3AdKw7MoEGL) | 10/17/18 [] [Common Dreams Home Page] [] Dear Friend, In the world that we cover at Common Dreams, what is most clear is that the forces of darkness are organized, well-funded, and determined to keep both the wealth and political power they have amassed. For anyone hoping things would get better without a fight, it's very clear at this point that this will not be the case. So what is our job? Our job is to unmask and thwart those forces. And our job is not only to defeat them but build in the wake of their defeats something so much better. Another world is possible—a world that's less cruel, a world where many good people come together to throw off those who suppress our rights, wreck our planet, gobble up our economies, control our bodies, strip bare our democratic ideals, and undermine our visions for peace and shared prosperity. Common Dreams is more than a non-profit outlet covering the news and offering informed opinions. At our best, we are a galvanizing force for the millions of brave and committed people around the world who hold sacred this vision of a more sustainable, just, and beautiful world. At this moment in history, scientific evidence and the pounding of our hearts both confirm that we must stand together like never before if we want to survive the forces aligned against us. With the launch of our Fall Campaign, we hope that you will join us as we fortify ourselves for the weeks and months ahead. As is always true, [this people-powered model won't survive without support from readers and supporters like you.](1f9d0/ct3_0/1?sid=TV2%3AdKw7MoEGL) Every gift—[large, medium, or small](1f9d0/ct3_1/1?sid=TV2%3AdKw7MoEGL)—is crucial as we drive towards our goal. Like you, we are full of anger and anguish these days, but it is people coming together that gives us hope and keeps us going. Thank you for being part of Common Dreams. Thank you for all that you do to make a better world possible.
