We achieved universal political rights at the exact historical moment when we dismantled the material conditions that make those rights real.

Common Dreams exists to cover the news that others won’t, with a mission to inform and ignite change for the common good.

We refuse corporate ads and keep our site free for everyone, but our survival depends on readers like you. Please donate today to help us reach our goal of raising $100,000 by November 1.
