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.

Thank you for reading The Nation!

We hope you enjoyed the story you just read, just one of the many incisive, deeply-reported articles we publish daily. Now more than ever, we need fearless journalism that shifts the needle on important issues, uncovers malfeasance and corruption, and uplifts voices and perspectives that often go unheard in mainstream media.

Throughout this critical election year and a time of media austerity and renewed campus activism and rising labor organizing, independent journalism that gets to the heart of the matter is more critical than ever before. Donate right now and help us hold the powerful accountable, shine a light on issues that would otherwise be swept under the rug, and build a more just and equitable future.

For nearly 160 years, The Nation has stood for truth, justice, and moral clarity. As a reader-supported publication, we are not beholden to the whims of advertisers or a corporate owner. But it does take financial resources to report on stories that may take weeks or months to properly investigate, thoroughly edit and fact-check articles, and get our stories into the hands of readers.

Donate today and stand with us for a better future. Thank you for being a supporter of independent journalism.

Thank you for your generosity.
