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?

The House could vote this week on the ADA Education and Reform Act (HR 620), a bill that would gut the historic Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). HR 620 would put the onus on people with disabilities to educate and confront non-compliant businesses and would allow those businesses to remain inaccessible for years without penalty. Call your representative in the House at 202-224-3121 and demand that they reject HR 620. You can find more information from ADAPT here and from the ACLU here.

GOT SOME TIME?

Organizers across the country are fighting back after President Trump revealed an infrastructure plan geared to help big business, not the American people. Join them by getting at least five of your friends to call their members of Congress. Email them Color of Change’s call tool, share it on Facebook, or tweet using the hashtags #InfrastructureScam and #MillionsofJobs.

READY TO DIG IN?

Beginning on February 15, undocumented youth and allies will be walking the 250-miles from New York City to Washington, DC to demand a clean Dream Act and to uplift the stories of immigrants. You can support “The Walk to Stay Home” by walking for a time, providing a space to house walkers, hosting a solidarity event, or simply donating money or supplies. Sign up here and organizers will be in touch with next steps.

Disobey authoritarians, support The Nation

Over the past year you’ve read Nation writers like Elie Mystal, Kaveh Akbar, John Nichols, Joan Walsh, Bryce Covert, Dave Zirin, Jeet Heer, Michael T. Klare, Katha Pollitt, Amy Littlefield, Gregg Gonsalves, and Sasha Abramsky take on the Trump family’s corruption, set the record straight about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s catastrophic Make America Healthy Again movement, survey the fallout and human cost of the DOGE wrecking ball, anticipate the Supreme Court’s dangerous antidemocratic rulings, and amplify successful tactics of resistance on the streets and in Congress.

We publish these stories because when members of our communities are being abducted, household debt is climbing, and AI data centers are causing water and electricity shortages, we have a duty as journalists to do all we can to inform the public.

In 2026, our aim is to do more than ever before—but we need your support to make that happen. 

Through December 31, a generous donor will match all donations up to $75,000. That means that your contribution will be doubled, dollar for dollar. If we hit the full match, we’ll be starting 2026 with $150,000 to invest in the stories that impact real people’s lives—the kinds of stories that billionaire-owned, corporate-backed outlets aren’t covering. 

With your support, our team will publish major stories that the president and his allies won’t want you to read. We’ll cover the emerging military-tech industrial complex and matters of war, peace, and surveillance, as well as the affordability crisis, hunger, housing, healthcare, the environment, attacks on reproductive rights, and much more. At the same time, we’ll imagine alternatives to Trumpian rule and uplift efforts to create a better world, here and now. 

While your gift has twice the impact, I’m asking you to support The Nation with a donation today. You’ll empower the journalists, editors, and fact-checkers best equipped to hold this authoritarian administration to account. 

I hope you won’t miss this moment—donate to The Nation today.

Onward,

Katrina vanden Heuvel 

Editor and publisher, The Nation
