Yesterday, more than two hundred activists with Sunrise Movement staged a sit-in at Mitch McConnell’s office on Capitol Hill. The protesters used the action to raise support for the Green New Deal resolution ahead of a preliminary Senate vote on the policy later this week. The Green New Deal program, championed by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and cosponsored by at least 12 senators, would decarbonize the United States economy in an effort to avoid catastrophic climate change while also guaranteeing a job to every working American.

This week’s Take Action Now shows you how to get on the ground floor of the burgeoning campaign, and also gives you ways to support West Virginia teachers and contest a new election in North Carolina.

Take Action Now gives you three meaningful actions you can take each week whatever your schedule. You can sign up here to get these actions and more in your inbox every Tuesday.

NO TIME TO SPARE?

West Virginia public-school teachers struck again last week to demonstrate their opposition to a controversial education bill in the state legislature. Their campaign was successful, but the striking school employees, who are already underpaid, missed out on pay while on the picket line. Chip in to a school employees’ strike fund, then voice your support for striking teachers in Oakland, California using #OaklandTeachersStrike.

GOT SOME TIME?

After evidence of election fraud emerged in a North Carolina midterm race, the state board of elections resolved last week to hold a new election for the country’s last unclaimed seat in the House of Representatives. Help make calls for Dan McCready, the Democratic candidate in the race, by signing up to join his campaign.

READY TO DIG IN?

After its action on Mitch McConnell yesterday, Sunrise Movement is holding a mass webinar Thursday evening for people who want to get involved with the Green New Deal campaign moving forward. Register for the webinar to learn about how you can build support for the program in your community over the coming months through in-person organizing and direct action.

Be part of 160 years of confronting power 


Every day,
The Nation exposes the administration’s unchecked and reckless abuses of power through clear-eyed, uncompromising independent journalism—the kind of journalism that holds the powerful to account and helps build alternatives to the world we live in now. 

We have just the right people to confront this moment. Speaking on Democracy Now!, Nation DC Bureau chief Chris Lehmann translated the complex terms of the budget bill into the plain truth, describing it as “the single largest upward redistribution of wealth effectuated by any piece of legislation in our history.” In the pages of the June print issue and on The Nation Podcast, Jacob Silverman dove deep into how crypto has captured American campaign finance, revealing that it was the top donor in the 2024 elections as an industry and won nearly every race it supported.

This is all in addition to The Nation’s exceptional coverage of matters of war and peace, the courts, reproductive justice, climate, immigration, healthcare, and much more.

Our 160-year history of sounding the alarm on presidential overreach and the persecution of dissent has prepared us for this moment. 2025 marks a new chapter in this history, and we need you to be part of it.

We’re aiming to raise $20,000 during our June Fundraising Campaign to fund our change-making reporting and analysis. Stand for bold, independent journalism and donate to support The Nation today.

Onward,
