With the passage of a new tax bill that overwhelmingly benefits the rich, a Democratic caucus that continues to fail to protect Dreamers, and the FCC’s decision to put an end to net neutrality, the end of 2017 certainly made it clear that we’ll need even more inspiring organizing in 2018.

Take Action Now gives you three meaningful actions you can take each week, whatever your schedule. You can sign up here to get actions like these in your inbox every Tuesday.

NO TIME TO SPARE?

Despite calls for Democrats to withhold their votes if Congress refused to pass the Dream Act, the House and Senate approved a short-term funding bill just before the holiday recess. With the government funded until January 19, and an average of about 850 DACA recipients losing their protections every week between now and then, we need to keep up the pressure on all Democrats who refused to stand strong. See if your representatives are part of the “deportation caucus” and send them a tweet demanding that they fight for immigrant youth.

GOT SOME TIME?

While the FCC voted to end net neutrality, Congress can reinstate this critical regulation by passing a “resolution of disapproval” to undo the vote. Both Republicans and Democrats have spoken up against the FCC’s decision. Check out where your representatives stand, then use Free Press Action Fund’s call tool and script to give them a call.

READY TO DIG IN?

Last year, we had hopeful election results from Virginia to New Jersey to Alabama, and, already, people across the country are putting in the work to bring us more good news in 2018. Join them by using Indivisible’s voter-registration tool to begin registering voters in your community.

Support independent journalism that does not fall in line

Even before February 28, the reasons for Donald Trump’s imploding approval rating were abundantly clear: untrammeled corruption and personal enrichment to the tune of billions of dollars during an affordability crisis, a foreign policy guided only by his own derelict sense of morality, and the deployment of a murderous campaign of occupation, detention, and deportation on American streets. 

Now an undeclared, unauthorized, unpopular, and unconstitutional war of aggression against Iran has spread like wildfire through the region and into Europe. A new “forever war”—with an ever-increasing likelihood of American troops on the ground—may very well be upon us.  

As we’ve seen over and over, this administration uses lies, misdirection, and attempts to flood the zone to justify its abuses of power at home and abroad. Just as Trump, Marco Rubio, and Pete Hegseth offer erratic and contradictory rationales for the attacks on Iran, the administration is also spreading the lie that the upcoming midterm elections are under threat from noncitizens on voter rolls. When these lies go unchecked, they become the basis for further authoritarian encroachment and war. 

In these dark times, independent journalism is uniquely able to uncover the falsehoods that threaten our republic—and civilians around the world—and shine a bright light on the truth. 

The Nation’s experienced team of writers, editors, and fact-checkers understands the scale of what we’re up against and the urgency with which we have to act. That’s why we’re publishing critical reporting and analysis of the war on Iran, ICE violence at home, new forms of voter suppression emerging in the courts, and much more. 

But this journalism is possible only with your support.

This March, The Nation needs to raise $50,000 to ensure that we have the resources for reporting and analysis that sets the record straight and empowers people of conscience to organize. Will you donate today?
