This week’s Take Action Now is focused on a campaign to end human-rights abuses in the supply chain of fast-food giant Wendy’s, next steps in the fight to end family separation and detention, and events to save net neutrality.

Take Action Now gives you three meaningful actions you can take each week, whatever your schedule. Sign up here to get actions like these in your inbox every Tuesday.

NO TIME TO SPARE?

After years of escalating pressure from the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), the fast-food giant Wendy’s has announced that it will repatriate its tomato purchases from Mexico to the United States. However, the corporation has still fallen short of CIW’s key demand: that Wendy’s join its peers in the Fair Food Program, a worker-driven initiative that has improved working conditions and drastically decreased sexual assault in tomato fields. This Thursday, July 19, CIW members and allies will be marching on the offices of Wendy’s Board Chair Nelson Peltz. Join them by calling Peltz this Thursday to demand that Wendy’s join the FFP and use its purchasing power to support workers’ rights. You can find more information and directions here.

GOT SOME TIME?

Despite an order from a federal judge to reunite families separated under the Trump administration’s “zero-tolerance” policy, many of them remain separated and horrific stories continue to emerge of the treatment of the children and adults being held in detention centers. Join a call organized by the National Domestic Workers Alliance and the Families Belong Together coalition to find out next steps in the struggle to end the Trump administration’s cruelty toward immigrants.

READY TO DIG IN?

Thousands of small-business owners who rely on the open Internet have signed letters demanding that Congress take action to save net neutrality. This Thursday, July 19, they need your help to deliver them to members of the House of Representatives. Find a rally and letter delivery in your area and sign up to attend.

Time is running out to have your gift matched 

In this time of unrelenting, often unprecedented cruelty and lawlessness, I’m grateful for Nation readers like you. 

So many of you have taken to the streets, organized in your neighborhood and with your union, and showed up at the ballot box to vote for progressive candidates. You’re proving that it is possible—to paraphrase the legendary Patti Smith—to redeem the work of the fools running our government.

And as we head into 2026, I promise that The Nation will fight like never before for justice, humanity, and dignity in these United States. 

At a time when most news organizations are either cutting budgets or cozying up to Trump by bringing in right-wing propagandists, The Nation’s writers, editors, copy editors, fact-checkers, and illustrators confront head-on the administration’s deadly abuses of power, blatant corruption, and deconstruction of both government and civil society. 

We couldn’t do this crucial work without you.

Through the end of the year, a generous donor is matching all donations to The Nation’s independent journalism up to $75,000. But the end of the year is now only days away. 

Time is running out to have your gift doubled. Don’t wait—donate now to ensure that our newsroom has the full $150,000 to start the new year. 

Another world really is possible. Together, we can and will win it!

Love and Solidarity,

John Nichols
