This past Sunday, 10/10/10, millions of people took part in 7347 related events in 188 countries to demonstrate their determination to work toward a low carbon future. People around the world concerned by climate change joined together to dig community gardens, install solar panels, plant trees, green roofs, weatherize low-income homes, pick up trash, lobby for mass transit funding, and much, much more.

“The only countries that aren’t taking part, we think, are Equatorial Guinea, San Marino, and North Korea. So it’s clearly the most widespread day of environmental action this planet’s ever seen,” founder of the campaign Bill McKibben said.

This short video gives a sense of the breadth of the day’s global activities.

The Nation‘s own special 10/10/10 slide show also demonstrates the creativity of the day.

In all cases though, the intent of the message to our political leaders was clear: "if we can get to work, so can you!" Learn more at 350.org and tell your elected reps that you expect them to take urgent action on climate change. 350.org has made it especially easy to take the message right to your leaders with a nifty new call-in tool.

Be part of 160 years of confronting power 


Every day,
The Nation exposes the administration’s unchecked and reckless abuses of power through clear-eyed, uncompromising independent journalism—the kind of journalism that holds the powerful to account and helps build alternatives to the world we live in now. 

We have just the right people to confront this moment. Speaking on Democracy Now!, Nation DC Bureau chief Chris Lehmann translated the complex terms of the budget bill into the plain truth, describing it as “the single largest upward redistribution of wealth effectuated by any piece of legislation in our history.” In the pages of the June print issue and on The Nation Podcast, Jacob Silverman dove deep into how crypto has captured American campaign finance, revealing that it was the top donor in the 2024 elections as an industry and won nearly every race it supported.

This is all in addition to The Nation’s exceptional coverage of matters of war and peace, the courts, reproductive justice, climate, immigration, healthcare, and much more.

Our 160-year history of sounding the alarm on presidential overreach and the persecution of dissent has prepared us for this moment. 2025 marks a new chapter in this history, and we need you to be part of it.

We’re aiming to raise $20,000 during our June Fundraising Campaign to fund our change-making reporting and analysis. Stand for bold, independent journalism and donate to support The Nation today.

Onward,
