As you read this, millions of Americans have already cast their ballots to decide which party will control the Senate, the House of Representatives, and many other political offices coast to coast. The fight for progress certainly won’t end with this election, but going to the polls is the most impactful way you can take action today.

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.

GOT NO TIME TO SPARE?

Vote, vote, vote. It’s easy to look up your polling place online, and many states offer same-day registration—check to see if yours is on the list. And remember: If you’re in line by the time the polls close, you must be allowed to vote.

GOT SOME TIME?

In the lead-up to the election, journalists with ProPublica’s Electionland project have been monitoring obstacles to voting such as broken ballot machines and voter intimidation. Help protect the right to vote by alerting them if you see or hear anything suspicious, either online or by texting VOTE to 81380.

READY TO DIG IN?

If you have a car and some time to spare today, you can help drive people to the polls. Organizations like CarpoolVote are still accepting volunteer drivers, and signing up is as easy as filling out a form. VoteRiders has also partnered with local organizations to shuttle voters: Check out this link to see if there’s one near you.

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,
