Can the Public be Counted On?
In the upcoming election, both the future of democracy and fundamental civil rights are at stake. The conservative planners behind Project 2025 are working to implement Donald Trump’s authoritarian vision across all levels of government should he secure a victory.
Recent events have sparked a mix of apprehension and cautious optimism. Throughout these changes, The Nation has remained steadfast in combating misinformation and advocating for strong, principled viewpoints. The publication’s committed writers have conducted interviews with figures like Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders, analyzed J.D. Vance’s superficial right-wing populist rhetoric, and discussed strategies for a Democratic win in November.
Reporting like this, along with recently covered stories, is essential in this pivotal period of the nation’s history. There is a heightened need for clear, deeply investigative independent journalism to interpret headlines accurately and distinguish truth from falsehoods. The editors of The Nation urge support through donations to uphold a 160-year tradition of speaking truth to power and amplifying grassroots voices.
As the country approaches what may be the most defining election of the era in 2024, the support of readers is crucial for the continuation of the insightful journalism they have come to rely on.
Sincerely,
The Editors of The Nation
