Today, Take Action Now is focused entirely on defending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program for immigrant youth. This morning, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that President Trump is planning to end the program with a delay of six months, a cruel and cowardly move that ostensibly gives Congress time to act to protect the hundreds of thousands whose ability to work, study, and live their lives in the United States hangs in the balance. We now need all hands on deck to save DACA.

Take Action Now gives you three meaningful actions you can take each week whatever your schedule. You can sign up here to get these actions and more in your inbox every Tuesday.

NO TIME TO SPARE?

Tweet at members of Congress to demand that they take action. Even some Republicans admit that Congress should act to protect recipients of DACA. Use this easy-to-use tool to tweet at key members and demand that they pass legislation to ensure that immigrant youth can live and work in the United States without fear.

GOT SOME TIME?

Make at least two phone calls to members of Congress to demand that they take action. First, call your own senators or representative. You can find their information here and a quick explanation, including which legislation to ask them to support, here. Then, use United We Dream’s tool to call one other member who will be key if we want to win this fight.

READY TO DIG IN?

Show up to defend DACA. Already, people across the country are out in the streets, with some even risking arrest. Find an event near you and join them this afternoon or evening, or use Cosecha’s guide to organize your own action in the future.

Support independent journalism that exposes oligarchs and profiteers


Donald Trump’s cruel and chaotic second term is just getting started. In his first month back in office, Trump and his lackey Elon Musk (or is it the other way around?) have proven that nothing is safe from sacrifice at the altar of unchecked power and riches.

Only robust independent journalism can cut through the noise and offer clear-eyed reporting and analysis based on principle and conscience. That’s what The Nation has done for 160 years and that’s what we’re doing now.

Our independent journalism doesn’t allow injustice to go unnoticed or unchallenged—nor will we abandon hope for a better world. Our writers, editors, and fact-checkers are working relentlessly to keep you informed and empowered when so much of the media fails to do so out of credulity, fear, or fealty.

The Nation has seen unprecedented times before. We draw strength and guidance from our history of principled progressive journalism in times of crisis, and we are committed to continuing this legacy today.

We’re aiming to raise $25,000 during our Spring Fundraising Campaign to ensure that we have the resources to expose the oligarchs and profiteers attempting to loot our republic. Stand for bold independent journalism and donate to support The Nation today.

Onward,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
