Summary
Common Dreams said its Summer Campaign aims to raise $125,000 by midnight on August 31 to support its nonprofit news operation.
The outlet framed the appeal as a defense of independent journalism, saying Trump is trying to co-opt news sources and control what the public sees and hears.
Common Dreams contrasted itself with corporate media it says are "bending the knee," and pledged it will not be intimidated or compromise on social justice, human rights, equality and peace.
Reader funding is central to that pitch: the organization said support from ordinary donors guarantees its editorial freedom.
