Programs: Common Dreams publishes a diverse mix of breaking news, insightful views, and press releases covering issues that resonate with progressives in every corner of the globe. We compile the latest, most relevant writings in one easy-to-access online location, and present it in a clean, uncomplicated format, uninterrupted by pop-ups or gimmicks. Over the years, we’ve published the work of some of the world’s brightest visionaries and most courageous advocates for change. The writings of Nelson Mandela, Naomi Klein, Al Gore, Arundhati Roy, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. , the late Molly Ivins, and many, many others have appeared on our homepage, alongside the heartfelt sentiments and piercing insights of lesser-known, ‘regular folks’ whose inspirational words and creative ideas might otherwise have vanished into the black hole of unpublished works. Common Dreams makes sure that the critical issues and ideas for the future are not drowned out in the ceaseless noise and dis-information that calls itself "the news" in most of the corporate media. We are dedicated to bringing our millions of readers honest, independent news and analysis every day of the year.
