Take Action: Stop the War Supplemental

Take Action: Stop the War Supplemental

We’re on the verge of a huge victory for the antiwar movement. We are just three votes short of defeating the war supplemental bill in Congress.

As the US House of Representatives is about to determine the fate of
the FY2009 Supplemental Appropriations bill, Robert Greenwald, founder
and president of Brave New Films, encourages Californians to participate in the decision-making process. “Democracy is not a spectator sport,” concludes Greenwald as he asks the viewers to contact their representatives and say no to the supplemental bill for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Greenwald, an avid political activist in film, has
collaborated with The Nation over the production of “This Brave Nation,”
an acclaimed documentary on the dialogue between several progressive
activists.

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.
