In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Saket Soni hurried to the Gulf and started the New Orleans Workers’ Center for Racial Justice. What he found in the days after the storm was that corporations and politicians were doing everything they could to reshape the damaged city in their favor. Now, after Super Storm Sandy has wreaked havoc on the Northeast, Saket has some words of advice for New York, New Jersey and other affected areas: It’s never too earlier to start rebuilding and reimagining the city we all want to live in.

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
