We publish these stories because when members of our communities are kidnapped, household debts rise and artificial intelligence data centers cause water and electricity shortages. we as journalists have a responsibility to do everything we can to keep the public informed.

In 2026, our goal is to do more than ever before, but to do this we need your support.

Until December 31st, generous donors will match all donations up to $75,000. This means your contribution will be doubled, dollar for dollar. If we have reached full compliance, we will start 2026 with $150,000 invest in stories that impact the lives of real people—stories that aren't covered by the billionaire-owned, corporate-backed media.

With your support, our team will publish the important stories the president and his allies don't want you to read. We will cover the evolving military industrial complex and issues of war, peace and surveillance, as well as the affordability crisis, hunger, housing, health care, the environment, attacks on reproductive rights and more. At the same time, we will present alternatives to Trump's rule and intensify efforts to create a better world here and now.

Although your gift has a double impact, I ask you to support Nation with a donation today. you will Empower the journalists, editors and fact-checkers who are best equipped to hold this authoritarian administration accountable.

I hope you don't miss this moment – donate to Nation Today.

Forward,
