Representative Marcy Kaptur
and economist
Dean Baker discuss the housing crisis in this special presentation of
“Fighting
For Our Homes.”

Marcy Kaptur, the Democratic representative from Toledo, made waves when
she suggested on the floor of the House that Americans facing eviction
should stay in their homes and fight the foreclosure proceedings. The
bold ideas of Kaptur and Dean Baker, from the Center for Economic and Policy
Research
, have got a lot of press
and are being put into action around the country by ACORN. Brave New
Films discusses with them the run up to the housing crisis and the future
of the foreclosure fight.

Thank you for reading The Nation!

We hope you enjoyed the story you just read, just one of the many incisive, deeply-reported articles we publish daily. Now more than ever, we need fearless journalism that shifts the needle on important issues, uncovers malfeasance and corruption, and uplifts voices and perspectives that often go unheard in mainstream media.

Throughout this critical election year and a time of media austerity and renewed campus activism and rising labor organizing, independent journalism that gets to the heart of the matter is more critical than ever before. Donate right now and help us hold the powerful accountable, shine a light on issues that would otherwise be swept under the rug, and build a more just and equitable future.

For nearly 160 years, The Nation has stood for truth, justice, and moral clarity. As a reader-supported publication, we are not beholden to the whims of advertisers or a corporate owner. But it does take financial resources to report on stories that may take weeks or months to properly investigate, thoroughly edit and fact-check articles, and get our stories into the hands of readers.

Donate today and stand with us for a better future. Thank you for being a supporter of independent journalism.

Thank you for your generosity.
