NO TIME TO SPARE?

With fifty senators now committed to repealing the FCC’s plan to dismantle net neutrality, we only need one Republican Senator to pass a bill in that body and move our fight to the House. Find out where your senators and representative stand, then call and demand that they vote to save net neutrality.

GOT SOME TIME?

The government spending bill is expiring this Friday, January 19, and Republicans will need Democratic votes to keep the government running. That gives us a crucial opportunity to finally pass the Dream Act and give undocumented youth permanent protection that doesn’t depend on the whims of the administration or the courts. Find a local #NoDreamNoDeal action near you on January 17 or 18 and sign up to demand that your members of Congress stand with Dreamers.

READY TO DIG IN?

The day after President Trump’s first State of the Union, people across the country will gather to watch something much more inspiring: Fossil Free Fast, an event focused on the state of the climate movement and the path ahead to a fossil fuel–free world. You can join the movement by hosting a watch party. Gather with your neighbors to livestream the event featuring Senator Bernie Sanders and activists Bill McKibben and Varshini Prakash, then use a detailed toolkit to begin a campaign to make your community fossil-fuel free. 350.org will even follow up afterward to help with your next steps. Click here to sign up to host your own Fossil Free Fast watch party or to find one near you.

Thank you for reading The Nation!

We hope you enjoyed the story you just read. It’s just one of many examples of incisive, deeply-reported journalism we publish—journalism that shifts the needle on important issues, uncovers malfeasance and corruption, and uplifts voices and perspectives that often go unheard in mainstream media. For nearly 160 years, The Nation has spoken truth to power and shone a light on issues that would otherwise be swept under the rug.

In a critical election year as well as a time of media austerity, independent journalism needs your continued support. The best way to do this is with a recurring donation. This month, we are asking readers like you who value truth and democracy to step up and support The Nation with a monthly contribution. We call these monthly donors Sustainers, a small but mighty group of supporters who ensure our team of writers, editors, and fact-checkers have the resources they need to report on breaking news, investigative feature stories that often take weeks or months to report, and much more.

There’s a lot to talk about in the coming months, from the presidential election and Supreme Court battles to the fight for bodily autonomy. We’ll cover all these issues and more, but this is only made possible with support from sustaining donors. Donate today—any amount you can spare each month is appreciated, even just the price of a cup of coffee.

The Nation does not bow to the interests of a corporate owner or advertisers—we answer only to readers like you who make our work possible. Set up a recurring donation today and ensure we can continue to hold the powerful accountable.

Thank you for your generosity.
