Dear Readers,

While Bernie Sanders won’t arrive in Philadelphia with enough delegates to secure the nomination, he made an unprecedented insurgent bid, revealing to progressives their own strength—a strength also reflected in victories in the Fight for $15; against fracking and the Keystone XL pipeline; and in the rise of new social-justice movements. Looking ahead at the next year, how can progressives best continue to build a political revolution? What are the key battles to take on, issues to drive, or strategies to invest in?

We’re soliciting short answers (think 250 words or less) to this question from progressive activists and leaders—and from you, our readers. We’ll publish a collection of responses in our mid-July issue and online before the Democratic National Convention.

Tell us what you think!

Become a Sustaining Donor This September

Between the reemergence of right-wing red-baiting and Donald Trump’s use of the chilling National Security Presidential Memorandum–7 to criminalize left political organizing, we’re seeing McCarthyism reborn before our eyes.

This assault on democracy cannot be ignored or wished away. Resisting it requires bravery in the face of threats and repression, a steadfast commitment to the truth, and the unwavering belief that we can—and will—overcome this darkness.

We must have an independent media that sets the record straight, unearths corruption and abuses of power, and advances a politics of justice and dignity for all if we’re to win this fight.

That’s why I’m writing to you today. This September, The Nation needs to add 100 monthly donors to sustain our progressive journalism. Your contribution makes the next investigative report, the next truth-speaking column, and the next pathbreaking essay all possible. 

I hope you’ll support our work with a recurring donation today. If you donate $10 or more a month, we’ll send you a brand new “Hands Off the Free Press!” sticker to recognise your commitment to our cause. Please, donate today. 

Onward,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
