Time is running out to have your gift matched
In this time of unrelenting, often unprecedented cruelty and lawlessness, Iām grateful for Nation readers like you.
So many of you have taken to the streets, organized in your neighborhood and with your union, and showed up at the ballot box to vote for progressive candidates. Youāre proving that it is possibleāto paraphrase the legendary Patti Smithāto redeem the work of the fools running our government.
And as we head into 2026, I promise that The Nation will fight like never before for justice, humanity, and dignity in these United States.
At a time when most news organizations are either cutting budgets or cozying up to Trump by bringing in right-wing propagandists, The Nationās writers, editors, copy editors, fact-checkers, and illustrators confront head-on the administrationās deadly abuses of power, blatant corruption, and deconstruction of both government and civil society.
We couldnāt do this crucial work without you.
Through the end of the year, a generous donor is matching all donations to The Nationās independent journalism up to $75,000. But the end of the year is now only days away.
Time is running out to have your gift doubled. Donāt waitādonate now to ensure that our newsroom has the full $150,000 to start the new year.
Another world really is possible. Together, we can and will win it!
Love and Solidarity,
John Nichols
Executive Editor, The Nation
