Stop the AIG Plunder

Stop the AIG Plunder

The people in AIG’s financial products division are as responsible as anyone for the severity of our economic meltdown. And yet, they’re currently receiving $450 million in bonuses. This travesty has unleashed a tidal wave of public outrage and forced President Obama to vow to “pursue every legal avenue to block these bonuses.”

Keeping up the pressure MoveOn.org is collecting names on a petition which the group will deliver to Congress in advance of tomorrow’s House subcommittee hearing with AIG executives. Add your name today.

Your support makes stories like this possible

From illegal war on Iran to an inhumane fuel blockade of Cuba, from AI weapons to crypto corruption, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
