This week’s Take Action Now is focused on stopping Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court, protests against Trump’s plans to indefinitely detain immigrant children, and the first anniversary of Hurricane Maria.

To expand your impact, forward this email to your friends and family. They can sign up for Take Action Now here.

NO TIME TO SPARE?

This morning, activists from the Families Belong Together Campaign, the National Immigrant Justice Center, Mamás Con Poder, and others walked out of a Senate hearing to protest the Trump administration’s plan to hold immigrant children in detention indefinitely. To ensure this crucial protest doesn’t get overlooked in a busy news cycle, follow the hashtags #FamiliesBelongTogether and #EndFamilyDetention and tweet, post on Facebook, or tell friends about Trump’s horrific plan and the brave activists fighting against it.

GOT SOME TIME?

This Thursday marks one year after Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico, an event that was followed by months of callous neglect by the federal government and an estimated 2,975 deaths. Groups including the Center for Popular Democracy Action, VAMOS4PR, and Organize Florida are organizing vigils to demand a just recovery. Find one near you and attend or host your own.

READY TO DIG IN?

We already knew that Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court would be terrible for abortion access, the environment, and workers’ rights, among other issues. Now, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford has come forward with an allegation of sexual assault perpetrated by Kavanaugh. Senate Republicans are moving forward with Kavanaugh’s nomination, despite the seriousness of the accusation, and on Monday, Ford will bravely testify in front of the Judiciary Committee. Join activists engaging in direct action in DC on Monday to demand the Senate vote “no” on Kavanaugh’s confirmation. If you’re nervous about taking action, check out Ady Barkan’s powerful article in The Nation on the importance of this fight.

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
