This week’s Take Action Now focuses on the killing of Palestinian protesters in Gaza, the Senate’s vote on net neutrality, and the new Poor People’s Campaign.

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?

After Israeli troops killed at least 60 Palestinians, several of them children or teenagers, and injured more than 2,000 while the Trump administration celebrated the opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem, many American politicians—Democrats and Republicans alike—failed to condemn the bloodshed. Meanwhile, the United States continues to sell billions of dollars’ worth of weapons to Israel, even as US laws governing arms exports prohibit US-made weapons from being misused on civilians, and US-backed militaries from violating human rights. Write or call your members of Congress and demand that they conduct an immediate investigation into Israel’s actions and hold it accountable for violating human rights (US Campaign for Palestinian Rights has put together language and an e-mail tool).

GOT SOME TIME?

The Senate is expected to vote tomorrow on a bill that would overturn the FCC’s decision to destroy net neutrality—and we only need one more senator’s support to pass it. First, call your own senators. Then follow Fight for the Future’s directions to find friends and family in states with senators on the fence (Louisiana and Alaska are particularly important right now) and urge them to make their own calls today.

READY TO DIG IN?

Yesterday, people across the country gathered at their statehouses to launch the Poor People’s Campaign to demand that the US confront poverty. Yesterday’s actions kicked off 40 days of nonviolent direct action, teach-ins, and more. They will be followed by voter registration, mobilization, and education. Sign up to get involved, then join a conference call on Wednesday or Saturday to find out more about what you can do.

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
