In a special one-hour live stream, we bring back many of our guests from
last year’s election day show to discuss what’s changed, what’s stayed
the same, and what we still hope to see happen under Obama.

Elections around the country of course saw nowhere near the turnout of
the presidential race, yet the corporate media still insists on
considering races in Virginia and New Jersey referenda on Obama. What do
the results really mean? And what’s going on in the Obama
administration? We’ll talk to Katrina vanden Heuvel and Chris Hayes of
The Nation, Jehmu Greene of the Women’s Media Center, James
Rucker of Color Of Change, Danny Schechter of News Dissector, Jane
Hamsher of FireDogLake, Mark Green of Air America, Esther Armah of WBAI,
and special guests from the Maine Equality movement and elsewhere.

Become a Sustaining Donor This September

Between the reemergence of right-wing red-baiting and Donald Trump’s use of the chilling National Security Presidential Memorandum–7 to criminalize left political organizing, we’re seeing McCarthyism reborn before our eyes.

This assault on democracy cannot be ignored or wished away. Resisting it requires bravery in the face of threats and repression, a steadfast commitment to the truth, and the unwavering belief that we can—and will—overcome this darkness.

We must have an independent media that sets the record straight, unearths corruption and abuses of power, and advances a politics of justice and dignity for all if we’re to win this fight.

That’s why I’m writing to you today. This September, The Nation needs to add 100 monthly donors to sustain our progressive journalism. Your contribution makes the next investigative report, the next truth-speaking column, and the next pathbreaking essay all possible. 

I hope you’ll support our work with a recurring donation today. If you donate $10 or more a month, we’ll send you a brand new “Hands Off the Free Press!” sticker to recognise your commitment to our cause. Please, donate today. 

Onward,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
Editor and Publisher, The Nation
