Donald Trump’s election raised the stakes for activists everywhere. After a little under a year in office, his administration has taken aim at immigrants and refugees, attempted to destroy the Affordable Care Act, and shredded what little progress we had made toward addressing climate change, to name a few of its disastrous policies. At The Nation, we knew we had to step it up.

That’s why we created our “Take Action Now” newsletter. Over four years, The Nation’s Take Action program, where we launch online actions on the issues we cover, has developed a robust community of readers eager to act on the issues we report on, along with deep ties to groups now at the forefront of the resistance. Thanks to those connections, we have lots of information about what’s going on across the country, and we want to share the best of it with you.

While we are all united in our desire to take action, most of us are busy, and our access to time and resources varies, day to day and week to week. Each Tuesday, “Take Action Now” features a list of three actions curated by Nation editors to make the biggest impact—one of which is an option that takes a few minutes to complete, another that takes a few hours, and the last involves a deeper commitment. You can pick and choose which one to involve yourself with, no matter your schedule.

Through “Take Action Now,” our readers have joined the fight to save the Affordable Care Act, demanded action on gun control, joined the battle to save net neutrality, stood up for the rights of immigrants, and so much more. 

Join them by signing up for “Take Action Now” here—and we’ll be in touch!

Disobey authoritarians, support The Nation

Over the past year you’ve read Nation writers like Elie Mystal, Kaveh Akbar, John Nichols, Joan Walsh, Bryce Covert, Dave Zirin, Jeet Heer, Michael T. Klare, Katha Pollitt, Amy Littlefield, Gregg Gonsalves, and Sasha Abramsky take on the Trump family’s corruption, set the record straight about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s catastrophic Make America Healthy Again movement, survey the fallout and human cost of the DOGE wrecking ball, anticipate the Supreme Court’s dangerous antidemocratic rulings, and amplify successful tactics of resistance on the streets and in Congress.

We publish these stories because when members of our communities are being abducted, household debt is climbing, and AI data centers are causing water and electricity shortages, we have a duty as journalists to do all we can to inform the public.

In 2026, our aim is to do more than ever before—but we need your support to make that happen. 

Through December 31, a generous donor will match all donations up to $75,000. That means that your contribution will be doubled, dollar for dollar. If we hit the full match, we’ll be starting 2026 with $150,000 to invest in the stories that impact real people’s lives—the kinds of stories that billionaire-owned, corporate-backed outlets aren’t covering. 

With your support, our team will publish major stories that the president and his allies won’t want you to read. We’ll cover the emerging military-tech industrial complex and matters of war, peace, and surveillance, as well as the affordability crisis, hunger, housing, healthcare, the environment, attacks on reproductive rights, and much more. At the same time, we’ll imagine alternatives to Trumpian rule and uplift efforts to create a better world, here and now. 

While your gift has twice the impact, I’m asking you to support The Nation with a donation today. You’ll empower the journalists, editors, and fact-checkers best equipped to hold this authoritarian administration to account. 

I hope you won’t miss this moment—donate to The Nation today.

Onward,

Katrina vanden Heuvel 

Editor and publisher, The Nation
