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.

Support The Nation’s June Fundraising Campaign

With the midterm elections now firmly upon us, the question is whether Democratic candidates will do more than merely occupy ballot lines as mild alternatives to the red-hot crisis that is Donald Trump.

As Trump spends over $1 billion a day on a globally destabilizing war on Iran and admits that he doesn’t “think about Americans’ financial situation,” millions across the country are struggling with the surging costs of essentials. Democrats must seize this moment and advance bold, small-“d” populist ideas—not settle for cynical caution that once again snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.

The Nation elevates progressive ideas, movements, and elected officials achieving real change across the country into the national conversation. At the same time, our journalists are exposing how crypto and AI-funded super PACs are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to knock out candidates they oppose, reporting on the devastating impact of the Supreme Court’s evisceration of the Voting Rights Act, and sounding the alarm on attempts by red states to quickly redraw electoral maps, disenfranchising Southern Black voters.

We can play this critical role because of support from readers like you. This June, we’re raising $20,000 to power The Nation’s independent journalism in the run-up to November’s immensely consequential elections.

It’s in our power to build a more just society, and your support at this critical moment brings us closer to that bold vision. I hope you’ll donate today.

Onward,
