Take Action: Stop the War Supplemental

We’re on the verge of a huge victory for the antiwar movement. We are just three votes short of defeating the war supplemental bill in Congress.

As the US House of Representatives is about to determine the fate of
the FY2009 Supplemental Appropriations bill, Robert Greenwald, founder
and president of Brave New Films, encourages Californians to participate in the decision-making process. “Democracy is not a spectator sport,” concludes Greenwald as he asks the viewers to contact their representatives and say no to the supplemental bill for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Greenwald, an avid political activist in film, has
collaborated with The Nation over the production of “This Brave Nation,”
an acclaimed documentary on the dialogue between several progressive
activists.

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
