After Democrats held to their promise to demand a Dream Act for a mere three days, the government shutdown is over. Dreamers got little out of it: Senator Mitch McConnell’s “intention” to bring immigration legislation to the Senate floor, and nothing from the House or president.

That is clearly not enough. This week in Take Action Now, find out how you can demand the Dream Act. You can also help find progressive women who want to run political campaigns.

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?

Call 202-224-3121 to reach your members of Congress. Tell them that every day they fail to pass the Dream Act, more immigrant youth become vulnerable to detention and deportation.

GOT SOME TIME

Show up for Dreamers. You can find actions organized by MoveOn here or town halls at TownHallProject.com. There are also rallies today in Brooklyn and Washington, DC.

READY TO DIG IN?

Inspired by a Teen Vogue article, Nelini Stamp and other organizers put out a call for progressive women to become campaign managers. Sign up or spread the word to women in your life who you think would run successful and inspiring campaigns. Organizers will be in touch with next steps.

Support The Nation’s June Fundraising Campaign

With the midterm elections now firmly upon us, the question is whether Democratic candidates will do more than merely occupy ballot lines as mild alternatives to the red-hot crisis that is Donald Trump.

As Trump spends over $1 billion a day on a globally destabilizing war on Iran and admits that he doesn’t “think about Americans’ financial situation,” millions across the country are struggling with the surging costs of essentials. Democrats must seize this moment and advance bold, small-“d” populist ideas—not settle for cynical caution that once again snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.

The Nation elevates progressive ideas, movements, and elected officials achieving real change across the country into the national conversation. At the same time, our journalists are exposing how crypto and AI-funded super PACs are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to knock out candidates they oppose, reporting on the devastating impact of the Supreme Court’s evisceration of the Voting Rights Act, and sounding the alarm on attempts by red states to quickly redraw electoral maps, disenfranchising Southern Black voters.

We can play this critical role because of support from readers like you. This June, we’re raising $20,000 to power The Nation’s independent journalism in the run-up to November’s immensely consequential elections.

It’s in our power to build a more just society, and your support at this critical moment brings us closer to that bold vision. I hope you’ll donate today.

Onward,
