Support Needed During Critical Times
In the upcoming election, the future of democracy and essential civil rights are at stake. The conservative planners behind Project 2025 aim to embed Donald Trump’s authoritarian agenda throughout all levels of government, should he win.
Recent events have evoked both apprehension and cautious optimism. During this period, The Nation has served as a steadfast defender against misinformation and a promoter of bold, principled viewpoints. Its committed writers have conducted interviews with Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders, analyzed J.D. Vance’s shallow right-wing populist rhetoric, and discussed strategies for a Democratic victory in November.
Such stories, in addition to the one just presented, are crucial at this significant moment in the nation’s history. There is a greater need than ever for clear, in-depth independent journalism to clarify the headlines and differentiate fact from fiction. Contributions are encouraged to support this 160-year tradition of speaking truth to power and amplifying grassroots advocacy voices.
As 2024 approaches, along with what may be the most defining election of this generation, support is essential for the continued publication of the insightful journalism relied upon by many.
Thank you,
The Editors of The Nation
