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

NO TIME TO SPARE?

The next week and a half is our best chance to pass the DREAM Act to protect hundreds of thousands of immigrant youth brought to the United States as children. These young immigrants are leading the fight and telling their own stories to inspire others to action. Head to weareheretostay.org and share these stories widely. Scroll down the page and with one click you can automatically tweet a short video to Representative Paul Ryan or Senator Mitch McConnell.

GOT SOME TIME?

GOP senators want to pass their tax plan—a plan with huge benefits for the rich and little to offer the rest of us—this week. If Democrats stand strong against it, we only need three Republicans on our side to win. Use Indivisible’s call tool to contact the constituents of the Republicans most likely to be among those three. After you sign up, you’ll be connected to progressives in Alaska, Arizona, and West Virginia, and given a script you can use to convince them to call their senators today. Sign up to make phone calls here.

READY TO DIG IN?

One of the most effective things you can do to defeat the Republican tax plan is show up. Join MoveOn.org at “Tax Scam Caroling” events at senators’ offices and popular shopping areas across the country this week. Find an event near you here or click here to learn how you can plan your own.

Support independent journalism that does not fall in line

Even before February 28, the reasons for Donald Trump’s imploding approval rating were abundantly clear: untrammeled corruption and personal enrichment to the tune of billions of dollars during an affordability crisis, a foreign policy guided only by his own derelict sense of morality, and the deployment of a murderous campaign of occupation, detention, and deportation on American streets. 

Now an undeclared, unauthorized, unpopular, and unconstitutional war of aggression against Iran has spread like wildfire through the region and into Europe. A new “forever war”—with an ever-increasing likelihood of American troops on the ground—may very well be upon us.  

As we’ve seen over and over, this administration uses lies, misdirection, and attempts to flood the zone to justify its abuses of power at home and abroad. Just as Trump, Marco Rubio, and Pete Hegseth offer erratic and contradictory rationales for the attacks on Iran, the administration is also spreading the lie that the upcoming midterm elections are under threat from noncitizens on voter rolls. When these lies go unchecked, they become the basis for further authoritarian encroachment and war. 

In these dark times, independent journalism is uniquely able to uncover the falsehoods that threaten our republic—and civilians around the world—and shine a bright light on the truth. 

The Nation’s experienced team of writers, editors, and fact-checkers understands the scale of what we’re up against and the urgency with which we have to act. That’s why we’re publishing critical reporting and analysis of the war on Iran, ICE violence at home, new forms of voter suppression emerging in the courts, and much more. 

But this journalism is possible only with your support.

This March, The Nation needs to raise $50,000 to ensure that we have the resources for reporting and analysis that sets the record straight and empowers people of conscience to organize. Will you donate today?
