Support The nationJune fundraising campaign With the midterm elections now upon us, the question is whether Democratic candidates will do more than simply occupy the polls as soft alternatives to the burning crisis that is Donald Trump.
As Trump spends more than $1 billion a day on a destabilizing war against Iran and admits he’s not “thinking about the financial situation of Americans,” millions of people across the country are struggling with rising prices for basic necessities. Democrats must seize this opportunity and promote bold, small-d-populist ideas, not settle for cynical caution that once again snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.
The nation elevates progressive ideas, movements, and elected officials making real change across the country into the national conversation. At the same time, our reporters reveal how crypto- and AI-funded super PACs are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to eliminate candidates they oppose, reporting on the devastating impact of the Supreme Court’s gutting of the Voting Rights Act and sounding the alarm on attempts by red states to quickly redraw electoral maps, thereby disenfranchising Black voters in the South.
We can play this vital role thanks to the support of readers like you. In June we are raising $20,000 to support The nationindependent journalism ahead of the extremely important November elections.
It is within our power to build a more just society, and your support at this critical moment brings us closer to this bold vision. I hope you will donate today.
Ahead,
