Take Action Now gives you three meaningful actions you can take each week, whatever your schedule. Sign up here to get actions like these in your inbox every Tuesday.

NO TIME TO SPARE?

President Trump’s weak and deceptive “$1.5 trillion” infrastructure plan involves only $200 billion in federal funding over a decade, relies on privatization schemes that would enrich the already rich and powerful, and rolls back crucial environmental regulations. Use Color of Change’s call tool to demand that Congress reject Trump’s “infrastructure scam” and instead embrace a plan that truly invests in our communities.

GOT SOME TIME?

At more than 300 watch parties last week, activists gathered to hear from movement leaders and to get their next assignment: push for local resolutions calling for no fossil fuels and for a just transition to 100 percent renewable energy. Sign up for a next step call with 350.org this Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday night and join the climate resistance in your community.

READY TO DIG IN?

There are a number of opportunities this week to show up physically and virtually for immigrant communities under attack. Tomorrow, February 7, people are heading to DC to demand a #DreamActNow. On Saturday, February 10, New York City will gather in support of activist Ravi Ragbir, the leader of the New Sanctuary Coalition who is in danger of being deported. You can follow and support that action using the hashtags #IStandwithRavi and #NewSanctuaryCity.

Thank you for reading The Nation!

We hope you enjoyed the story you just read. It’s just one of many examples of incisive, deeply-reported journalism we publish—journalism that shifts the needle on important issues, uncovers malfeasance and corruption, and uplifts voices and perspectives that often go unheard in mainstream media. For nearly 160 years, The Nation has spoken truth to power and shone a light on issues that would otherwise be swept under the rug.

In a critical election year as well as a time of media austerity, independent journalism needs your continued support. The best way to do this is with a recurring donation. This month, we are asking readers like you who value truth and democracy to step up and support The Nation with a monthly contribution. We call these monthly donors Sustainers, a small but mighty group of supporters who ensure our team of writers, editors, and fact-checkers have the resources they need to report on breaking news, investigative feature stories that often take weeks or months to report, and much more.

There’s a lot to talk about in the coming months, from the presidential election and Supreme Court battles to the fight for bodily autonomy. We’ll cover all these issues and more, but this is only made possible with support from sustaining donors. Donate today—any amount you can spare each month is appreciated, even just the price of a cup of coffee.

The Nation does not bow to the interests of a corporate owner or advertisers—we answer only to readers like you who make our work possible. Set up a recurring donation today and ensure we can continue to hold the powerful accountable.

Thank you for your generosity.
