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

NO TIME TO SPARE?

President Trump’s weak and deceptive “$1.5 trillion” infrastructure plan involves only $200 billion in federal funding over a decade, relies on privatization schemes that would enrich the already rich and powerful, and rolls back crucial environmental regulations. Use Color of Change’s call tool to demand that Congress reject Trump’s “infrastructure scam” and instead embrace a plan that truly invests in our communities.

GOT SOME TIME?

At more than 300 watch parties last week, activists gathered to hear from movement leaders and to get their next assignment: push for local resolutions calling for no fossil fuels and for a just transition to 100 percent renewable energy. Sign up for a next step call with 350.org this Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday night and join the climate resistance in your community.

READY TO DIG IN?

There are a number of opportunities this week to show up physically and virtually for immigrant communities under attack. Tomorrow, February 7, people are heading to DC to demand a #DreamActNow. On Saturday, February 10, New York City will gather in support of activist Ravi Ragbir, the leader of the New Sanctuary Coalition who is in danger of being deported. You can follow and support that action using the hashtags #IStandwithRavi and #NewSanctuaryCity.

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?
