How are ordinary Greeks dealing with a country spiraling out of control?

Caught between austerity and default, Greece remains in a highly fragile and difficult position. But out of the country’s chaos, “a tremendous outbreak of solidarity” has been born, says Nation correspondent Maria Margaronis in this episode of Nation Conversations with Roane Carey. Listen to the podcast to learn more about the initiatives Greeks are taking to help each other as well as the political shifts sparked by the crisis.

Read more about what’s happening in Greece in Margaronis’s article, “Greece in Meltdown,” from this week’s issue of The Nation.

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
