“Welcome to The Nation magazine’s 150th birthday party,” John Nichols said to the crowd at the Tucson Festival of Books this past month in Arizona. In this panel conversation, which aired on CSPAN2’s BookTV, Nichols joined The Nation’s Katha Pollitt, Lee Fang of The Intercept, and Congressman Raul Grijalva (D-Arizona) to honor what Nichols characterized as “150 years of rabblerousing, agitating and objecting and calling out the ugly abuses of corporate power and embracing the beauty of movements for social and economic justice.”

Discussing the ever-changing media landscape Congressman Grijalva praised The Nation for adding a “broader depth” to the political discourse, which is “so important for our democracy.”

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.
