The burgeoning movement against economic injustice, Occupy Wall Street, is blooming coast to coast. Are there any Occupy events currently underway in your city? The Nation wants images from your local actions. Submit photos to The Nation’s Flickr group and your shots may be included in a slide show on TheNation.com. Here’s how:

1. Log in to your Flickr account (if you don’t have a flickr account, you can sign up for free.)
2. Join The Nation’s flickr group by clicking “Join this Group” on our Flickr group page.
3. Add your images of any OccupyUSA actiosn or events to The Nation’s group pool, and tag your images with the tag OccupyAmerica.

We’ll let you know if we use your images in The Nation’s slide show.

* Photographs should be site-specific, clearly showing the city in which your action is taking place.
* Good photographs will include people, signs and anything that makes them stand out from other protest pics.
* Include information about location, date and time of your photograph.
* Images should be at least 600 pixels wide, in landscape format, 300dpi.

We cannot back down

We now confront a second Trump presidency.

There’s not a moment to lose. We must harness our fears, our grief, and yes, our anger, to resist the dangerous policies Donald Trump will unleash on our country. We rededicate ourselves to our role as journalists and writers of principle and conscience.

Today, we also steel ourselves for the fight ahead. It will demand a fearless spirit, an informed mind, wise analysis, and humane resistance. We face the enactment of Project 2025, a far-right supreme court, political authoritarianism, increasing inequality and record homelessness, a looming climate crisis, and conflicts abroad. The Nation will expose and propose, nurture investigative reporting, and stand together as a community to keep hope and possibility alive. The Nation’s work will continue—as it has in good and not-so-good times—to develop alternative ideas and visions, to deepen our mission of truth-telling and deep reporting, and to further solidarity in a nation divided.

Armed with a remarkable 160 years of bold, independent journalism, our mandate today remains the same as when abolitionists first founded The Nation—to uphold the principles of democracy and freedom, serve as a beacon through the darkest days of resistance, and to envision and struggle for a brighter future.

The day is dark, the forces arrayed are tenacious, but as the late Nation editorial board member Toni Morrison wrote “No! This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.”

I urge you to stand with The Nation and donate today.

Onwards,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
