On the second anniversary of the Egyptian revolution, people have once again gathered in squares across the country to protest continued economic inequality under President Mohamed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood. Protesters have many of the same chants today as they call for bread, freedom and social justice and for the downfall of the regime, Nation contributor Sharif Abdel Kouddous told Amy Goodman on Friday’s Democracy Now! Clashes have been breaking out near Tahrir Square and in Alexandria.

We hope you enjoyed the story you just read, just one of the many incisive, deeply-reported articles we publish daily. Now more than ever, we need fearless journalism that shifts the needle on important issues, uncovers malfeasance and corruption, and uplifts voices and perspectives that often go unheard in mainstream media.

Throughout this critical election year and a time of media austerity and renewed campus activism and rising labor organizing, independent journalism that gets to the heart of the matter is more critical than ever before. Donate right now and help us hold the powerful accountable, shine a light on issues that would otherwise be swept under the rug, and build a more just and equitable future.

For nearly 160 years, The Nation has stood for truth, justice, and moral clarity. As a reader-supported publication, we are not beholden to the whims of advertisers or a corporate owner. But it does take financial resources to report on stories that may take weeks or months to properly investigate, thoroughly edit and fact-check articles, and get our stories into the hands of readers.
