As the economic recovery stagnates and Washington leadership devolves into petty dysfunction, America’s longstanding power structures appearincreasingly unable to sustain themselves. In a new series of videos produced in collaboration between The Nation and On The Earth Productions and recorded at the 10th Annual Fighting Bob Fest in Madison, Wisconsin, Cornel West, Senator Bernie Sanders, Jim Hightower, Thom Hartmann and other progressive luminaries discuss the the potential for a national escalation in social unrest—and the need for an innovative new progressive agenda.

Check back each Wednesday for new videos in this series.

Thank you for reading The Nation!

We hope you enjoyed the story you just read, just one of the many incisive, deeply-reported articles we publish daily. Now more than ever, we need fearless journalism that shifts the needle on important issues, uncovers malfeasance and corruption, and uplifts voices and perspectives that often go unheard in mainstream media.

Throughout this critical election year and a time of media austerity and renewed campus activism and rising labor organizing, independent journalism that gets to the heart of the matter is more critical than ever before. Donate right now and help us hold the powerful accountable, shine a light on issues that would otherwise be swept under the rug, and build a more just and equitable future.

For nearly 160 years, The Nation has stood for truth, justice, and moral clarity. As a reader-supported publication, we are not beholden to the whims of advertisers or a corporate owner. But it does take financial resources to report on stories that may take weeks or months to properly investigate, thoroughly edit and fact-check articles, and get our stories into the hands of readers.

Donate today and stand with us for a better future. Thank you for being a supporter of independent journalism.

Thank you for your generosity.

The Nation Founded by abolitionists in 1865, The Nation has chronicled the breadth and depth of political and cultural life, from the debut of the telegraph to the rise of Twitter, serving as a critical, independent, and progressive voice in American journalism.
