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.

Become a Sustaining Donor This September

Between the reemergence of right-wing red-baiting and Donald Trump’s use of the chilling National Security Presidential Memorandum–7 to criminalize left political organizing, we’re seeing McCarthyism reborn before our eyes.

This assault on democracy cannot be ignored or wished away. Resisting it requires bravery in the face of threats and repression, a steadfast commitment to the truth, and the unwavering belief that we can—and will—overcome this darkness.

We must have an independent media that sets the record straight, unearths corruption and abuses of power, and advances a politics of justice and dignity for all if we’re to win this fight.

That’s why I’m writing to you today. This September, The Nation needs to add 100 monthly donors to sustain our progressive journalism. Your contribution makes the next investigative report, the next truth-speaking column, and the next pathbreaking essay all possible. 

I hope you’ll support our work with a recurring donation today. If you donate $10 or more a month, we’ll send you a brand new “Hands Off the Free Press!” sticker to recognise your commitment to our cause. Please, donate today. 

Onward,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
