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.

Become a Sustaining Donor This September

Between the reemergence of right-wing red-baiting and Donald Trump’s use of the chilling National Security Presidential Memorandum–7 to criminalize left political organizing, we’re seeing McCarthyism reborn before our eyes.

This assault on democracy cannot be ignored or wished away. Resisting it requires bravery in the face of threats and repression, a steadfast commitment to the truth, and the unwavering belief that we can—and will—overcome this darkness.

We must have an independent media that sets the record straight, unearths corruption and abuses of power, and advances a politics of justice and dignity for all if we’re to win this fight.

That’s why I’m writing to you today. This September, The Nation needs to add 100 monthly donors to sustain our progressive journalism. Your contribution makes the next investigative report, the next truth-speaking column, and the next pathbreaking essay all possible. 

I hope you’ll support our work with a recurring donation today. If you donate $10 or more a month, we’ll send you a brand new “Hands Off the Free Press!” sticker to recognise your commitment to our cause. Please, donate today. 

Onward,
