Last week a study from the United Nations reported that climate change is on pace to threaten more than 1 million species with extinction over the next 100 years. It’s critical that we drastically reduce carbon emissions within the next decade.

You’ve heard about the Green New Deal, but this week’s Take Action Now offers complementary ways to hold politicians and corporations accountable for climate change.

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?

Last week Take Action Now reported that Airbnb had ceased listing rentals in the West Bank. Though the company initially promised to stop, it started the practice again, and Jewish Voice for Peace is mobilizing once more on this blatant backtracking. They’re urging people to deactivate Airbnb tomorrow, May 15, to commemorate the anniversary of the Nakba that expelled Palestinians from their homes.

GOT SOME TIME?

Reducing emissions isn’t only about protecting our cities from sea-level rise—it’s also about protecting the future of natural habitats on earth. A group of scientists has proposed a Global Deal for Nature, a blueprint for saving earth’s biodiversity. Sign the petition urging world leaders to act, then talk to your friends about planning a trip to Detroit in late July for the second Democratic primary debate: Sunrise Movement will stage what they hope will be a massive protest outside the debate to urge candidates to make combating climate change a major part of their campaigns.

READY TO DIG IN?

As news cycles come and go, it’s key that we keep our attention on the fight for a carbon-neutral economy. Join a local chapter of 350 or the Sierra Club near you and attend an upcoming talk, rally, or strategy session. This will keep you connected to local fights against pipelines and power plants, and you can also go on hikes to explore and clean up the country’s natural wonders.

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
