Barbara Ehrenreich joined Joseph Stiglitz, Bill Fletcher, Jr. and Jeff Madrick in the Meltdown Forum, hosted by The Nation magazine and The Nation Institute March 6, to discuss the economic crisis and what must be done to move forward. During her opening remarks, Ehrenreich advised moving beyond the religion of market fundamentalism that places the invisible hand as a deity to rethinking production and our way of life. Please visit the Meltdown site to see more videos and listen to a podcast of the entire event.

Can we count on you?

In the coming election, the fate of our democracy and fundamental civil rights are on the ballot. The conservative architects of Project 2025 are scheming to institutionalize Donald Trump’s authoritarian vision across all levels of government if he should win.

We’ve already seen events that fill us with both dread and cautious optimism—throughout it all, The Nation has been a bulwark against misinformation and an advocate for bold, principled perspectives. Our dedicated writers have sat down with Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders for interviews, unpacked the shallow right-wing populist appeals of J.D. Vance, and debated the pathway for a Democratic victory in November.

Stories like these and the one you just read are vital at this critical juncture in our country’s history. Now more than ever, we need clear-eyed and deeply reported independent journalism to make sense of the headlines and sort fact from fiction. Donate today and join our 160-year legacy of speaking truth to power and uplifting the voices of grassroots advocates.

Throughout 2024 and what is likely the defining election of our lifetimes, we need your support to continue publishing the insightful journalism you rely on.

Thank you,
The Editors of The Nation
