<span style="font-family:helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;color:#000001;text-decoration:none;font-weight:regular;line-height:130%">Dear Friend of <i>The Nation</i>, <br>
<br>
We have been here before. Perhaps not at these precise coordinates, but at other times when democracy seemed to be falling off a cliff.
<br>
<br>
It’s in these moments that we must remind ourselves that taking a principled stand often requires running intellectual risks. <b><i>The Nation</i> has sustained itself on the idea that there are always alternatives</b> that would make our country and our world a more humane, just, and secure place.
<br>
<br>
<a href="http://link.thenation.com/click/9868251.296520/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhlbmF0aW9uLmNvbS9qdW5lLXN1cHBvcnQtbWFzdGVyLw/568ee3ddcbcf4803768b50deC4f302126" style="font-family:helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;color:#bf0c13;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold;line-height:130%;margin:0" target="_blank">Taking these positions is necessary, but costly. We rely on the additional support of readers like you to help us challenge those in power and posit alternative ideas. <u>Will you make a donation of $35 or more today?</u></a>
<br>
<br>
Your support keeps us free of outside interference and any worry about “offending” advertisers. We go where the truth takes us; where our interests, passions, and principles drive us; and <b>where you and our other loyal readers want and need us to go.</b>
<br>
<br>
Throughout our history, <i>The Nation</i> has challenged the conventional wisdom and narrow consensus of our public debate, and repeatedly championed proposals originally labeled heretical. In 1950, <i>The Nation</i> was banned from school libraries in New York City and Newark, while in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, a librarian lost her job after a citizens’ committee complained that by offering our magazine, she’d given shelf space to “subversive literature.”
<br>
<br>
But we survived. And I’m confident that America will, too, <b>so long as its values and truths are alive in <i>The Nation</i>.</b> From the sudden firing of FBI director James Comey, leaving the Trump administration teetering on the edge of a constitutional crisis, to the cavalcade of lies surrounding “Trumpcare”; from the shame of America’s incarceration scandal to systemic voter suppression,<b> <i>The Nation</i> brings you clear, informed, sustained, and unbiased reporting. </b>
<br>
<br>
<a href="http://link.thenation.com/click/9868251.296520/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhlbmF0aW9uLmNvbS9qdW5lLXN1cHBvcnQtbWFzdGVyLw/568ee3ddcbcf4803768b50deD4f302126" style="font-family:helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;color:#bf0c13;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold;line-height:130%;margin:0" target="_blank">Will you make a contribution today to help fund this journalism? These are the stories we need right now—journalism that challenges and subverts, that raises new voices and highlights alternative ideas, that keeps one eye on those in power and the other on the most vulnerable among us. </a>
<br>
<br>
In many ways, <i>The Nation</i> has always been a publication of resistance. Our proud history shows we’ve been on the right side of many great national debates, simply by being on the wrong side of what the power structure wanted us to say or write.
<br>
<br>
Today, our principled commitment to resist while exploring ways to stay true to America’s ideals is urgently needed. <a href="http://link.thenation.com/click/9868251.296520/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhlbmF0aW9uLmNvbS9qdW5lLXN1cHBvcnQtbWFzdGVyLw/568ee3ddcbcf4803768b50deE4f302126" style="font-family:helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;color:#bf0c13;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold;line-height:130%;margin:0" target="_blank">Your support right now of $35 or more will go toward reporting that amplifies and nurtures the resistance to Trump we see growing in the streets.</a>
<br>
<br>
<b>Please make as generous a gift as you are able. And thank you for being a member of our community of supporters.</b>
<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br><br>
