Can They Be Counted On?
In the upcoming election, the future of democracy and key civil rights are at stake. The conservative planners behind Project 2025 aim to establish Donald Trump’s authoritarian vision throughout various levels of government in the event of his victory.
Recent events have elicited both concern and cautious optimism. Throughout these developments, The Nation has served as a steadfast source against misinformation and an advocate for assertive, principled viewpoints. Its committed writers have conducted interviews with figures like Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders, analyzed the superficial right-wing populist appeals of J.D. Vance, and discussed strategies for a Democratic victory in the November elections.
Such stories, including the one just covered, are essential at this pivotal moment in the nation’s history. Now more than ever, there is a need for clear and thoroughly investigated independent journalism to decipher the headlines and distinguish fact from fiction. Contributions are solicited to continue The Nation’s 160-year tradition of advocating for truth and elevating grassroots voices.
Throughout 2024, in what is likely to be a defining election of a lifetime, The Nation requires support to sustain the publication of the insightful journalism upon which readers depend.
Sincerely,
The Editors of The Nation
