Last night, Michael Moore made his fifth visit to #OccupyWallStreet and delivered an exuberant, celebratory, inspiring sermon via the "human mic” from the steps on the east side of Liberty Plaza (Zuccotti Park).

The burgeoning movement against economic injustice is spreading like wildfire. If you’re not in or around New York City, there are Occupy solidarity actions taking place in more than 200 other locales in the United States. Chris Bowers at Daily Kos has the most comprehensive and credible list I’ve seen. Find an action near you, use the comments field to let us know about new initiatives, and check out a brief guide on how to support the new movement.

Support independent journalism that exposes oligarchs and profiteers


Donald Trump’s cruel and chaotic second term is just getting started. In his first month back in office, Trump and his lackey Elon Musk (or is it the other way around?) have proven that nothing is safe from sacrifice at the altar of unchecked power and riches.

Only robust independent journalism can cut through the noise and offer clear-eyed reporting and analysis based on principle and conscience. That’s what The Nation has done for 160 years and that’s what we’re doing now.

Our independent journalism doesn’t allow injustice to go unnoticed or unchallenged—nor will we abandon hope for a better world. Our writers, editors, and fact-checkers are working relentlessly to keep you informed and empowered when so much of the media fails to do so out of credulity, fear, or fealty.

The Nation has seen unprecedented times before. We draw strength and guidance from our history of principled progressive journalism in times of crisis, and we are committed to continuing this legacy today.

We’re aiming to raise $25,000 during our Spring Fundraising Campaign to ensure that we have the resources to expose the oligarchs and profiteers attempting to loot our republic. Stand for bold independent journalism and donate to support The Nation today.

Onward,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
