Representative Marcy Kaptur
and economist
Dean Baker discuss the housing crisis in this special presentation of
“Fighting
For Our Homes.”

Marcy Kaptur, the Democratic representative from Toledo, made waves when
she suggested on the floor of the House that Americans facing eviction
should stay in their homes and fight the foreclosure proceedings. The
bold ideas of Kaptur and Dean Baker, from the Center for Economic and Policy
Research
, have got a lot of press
and are being put into action around the country by ACORN. Brave New
Films discusses with them the run up to the housing crisis and the future
of the foreclosure fight.

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
