The Nation is proud to announce the following honors:

Izzy Award 


This award, named after the legendary left-wing journalist I.F. Stone, is presented annually by Ithaca College’s Park Center for “outstanding achievement in 
independent media.” There were three Izzy recipients this year—and two are Nation writers. Seth Freed Wessler won for his articles on abuses at for-profit prisons, and senior contributing writer Ari Berman earned the accolade for his reporting on voter suppression.

Daniel Singer Millennium Prize


Awarded by the Daniel Singer Foundation, this prize honors journalism that exhibits the fiery and compassionate spirit that the late socialist writer (and Nation European correspondent) exemplified. Nation senior editor Sarah Leonard was honored for her article “My Generation’s Best Chance Is Socialism,” an excerpt from The Future We Want: Radical Ideas for a New Century, which she co-edited with Jacobin magazine founder Bhaskar Sunkara.

James Aronson Award

Nation columnist Gary Younge is the recipient of the 2017 James Aronson Outstanding Achievement Award for Social Justice Journalism. Administered by the Hunter College department of film and media studies, the Aronson Award honors reporting that exposes injustice, its underlying causes, and possible reforms.

Can we count on you?

In the coming election, the fate of our democracy and fundamental civil rights are on the ballot. The conservative architects of Project 2025 are scheming to institutionalize Donald Trump’s authoritarian vision across all levels of government if he should win.

We’ve already seen events that fill us with both dread and cautious optimism—throughout it all, The Nation has been a bulwark against misinformation and an advocate for bold, principled perspectives. Our dedicated writers have sat down with Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders for interviews, unpacked the shallow right-wing populist appeals of J.D. Vance, and debated the pathway for a Democratic victory in November.

Stories like these and the one you just read are vital at this critical juncture in our country’s history. Now more than ever, we need clear-eyed and deeply reported independent journalism to make sense of the headlines and sort fact from fiction. Donate today and join our 160-year legacy of speaking truth to power and uplifting the voices of grassroots advocates.

Throughout 2024 and what is likely the defining election of our lifetimes, we need your support to continue publishing the insightful journalism you rely on.

Thank you,
The Editors of The Nation
