“Take Action Now” gives you three meaningful actions you can take each week whatever your schedule. This week, you can sign up for text alerts on actions to defend immigrants, write to a corporation that profits off of President Trump’s agenda, and organize your own protest to highlight the stories of those who would lose their health care under a repeal of the Affordable Care Act or cuts to Medicaid. You can sign up for “Take Action Now” here.

NO TIME TO WASTE

This is a simple thing you can do today to set yourself up for more involved action in the future: Sign up for United We Dream’s #HeretoStay network. By joining the network, you pledge to sign petitions, make phone calls, and physically show up when immigrants in your community need you. The organizers behind #HeretoStay will help by sending you text alerts on campaigns to stop deportations and fight for immigrants’ rights. You can sign up here or by texting HereToStay to 877877.

GOT SOME TIME?

Write a letter to a corporation profiting from President Trump’s hateful agenda. The Trump administration cannot pursue its agenda of vilifying and attacking immigrants on its own. Make the Road New York and the Center for Popular Democracy launched the Corporate Backers of Hate campaign to draw attention to and pressure companies that help—either by financing detention centers or private prisons or sitting on Trump’s business council—and they are asking people across the country to write personal letters to these companies. Many of their recent efforts have focused on JP Morgan Chase; CEO Jamie Dimon sits on Trump’s business council and the company finances immigrant-detention centers and private prison companies. You can write a letter to JP Morgan and Jamie Dimon here.

READY TO DIG IN?

Organize and host your own health-care event for the July 29 Our Lives On the Line day of action. Even as we celebrate the defeat of the latest iteration of Trumpcare, we cannot forget that politicians were willing to vote to take away our care—and that they could do it again. That’s why on Saturday, July 29, people across the United States will gather to share their stories as part of a massive nationwide day of action to lift the voices of the millions of Americans who would lose their health care if we repealed the Affordable Care Act or cut Medicaid. If there’s no event near you yet (you can find them all here), sign up here to host your own. There are directions to help you out on the Our Lives On the Line website.

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
