Today is #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving that usually kicks off the fundraising season for organizations that depend on donor support to make ends meet and enable them to do their work, including Nation.
To help us mobilize our community at this critical time, an anonymous donor will match every gift Nation gets today on a dollar to $25,000 basis. This means that until midnight tonight, every gift will be doubled and its impact will be doubled.
Right now, the free press is facing an uphill battle like we’ve never faced before. The new administration considers independent journalists “enemies of the people”. Attacks on free speech and freedom of the press, legal and physical attacks on journalists, and the ever-increasing power and proliferation of disinformation campaigns all threaten not only our ability to do our jobs, but also our readers’ ability to find news, reporting and analysis that they can to trust
If we hit our goal today, that is $50,000 in general revenue to support our newsroom, strengthen our investigative and in-depth political analysis, and ensure we are ready to serve as a beacon of truth, civil resistance, and progressive power in the weeks and months ahead.
From our abolitionist roots to our continued commitment to the principles of democracy and freedom, Nation 160 years of telling the truth to power. In the days ahead, our work will matter more than ever. To counter political authoritarianism, white supremacy, a judiciary overrun with far-right appointees, and the many other threats looming on the horizon, we will need communities that are informed, connected, fearless, and empowered by the truth.
None of us expected to see such a result in November. But for more than a century and a half, Nation was preparing to meet him. We are ready for the battle ahead, and now we need you to be with us. Join us by donating to Nation today, while every dollar goes twice as much.
Onward, in gratitude and solidarity,
Katrina Vanden Heuvel
Editorial Director and Publisher, Nation
