Hope has two beautiful daughters...

Their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are. [Browser View](1f9d0/ct0_0/1?sid=TV2%3Af43MKznpj) | 10/25/18 [] [Common Dreams Home Page] [] Dear Friend, Our readers often send us notes of much-appreciated encouragement. Recently a piece of mail with a check in it arrived on my desk from a reader, Mary in Toronto. It read: “Common Dreams reminds me of one of my favourite quotes by Augustine: 'Hope has two beautiful daughters: their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are.' Thanks for everything you do.” You count on us, every day, to bring you the news that matters—and given the bleak state of affairs these days—the news often makes us all angry. But despite all the "bad news," what we hear most often from our readers is that we give them hope by shining the light on so many courageous people working to make this world a better place for us all. Common Dreams has placed our hope in the thousands of readers who step forward and contribute what they can to keep us alive—readers like Mary, readers like you. Last week we kicked off our critical Fall Campaign. We must meet our $50,000 goal but so far it's has been slow—way too slow—and we are all getting concerned. This fundraiser is vital to keeping Common Dreams alive. [Will you stand with us by contributing to Common Dreams today?](1f9d0/ct1_0/1?sid=TV2%3Af43MKznpj) We can’t do it without you. [] [Yes!
