In the upcoming election, the future of democracy and fundamental civil rights are at stake. The conservative planners behind Project 2025 are aiming to establish Donald Trump’s authoritarian vision at all levels of government should he emerge victorious.
Recent events have stirred feelings of both concern and cautious optimism. Throughout these times, The Nation has remained a steadfast source against misinformation, providing bold and principled viewpoints. Its committed writers have conducted interviews with public figures such as Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders, analyzed the superficial right-wing populism of J.D. Vance, and discussed strategies for a Democratic victory in November.
Articles like these, including the current one, are crucial during this pivotal moment in the country’s history. There is an increasing need for clear, thorough, and independent journalism to help interpret the news and distinguish fact from fiction. The publication urges donations to continue the 160-year tradition of speaking truth to power and amplifying grassroots voices.
Heading into 2024, and what may be the most significant election of a lifetime, support is requested to maintain the insightful journalism that readers depend upon.
Sincerely,
The Editors of The Nation
