Between the reemergence of right-wing red-baiting and Donald Trump\u2019s use of the chilling National Security Presidential Memorandum\u20137 to criminalize left political organizing, we\u2019re seeing McCarthyism reborn before our eyes. <\/span><\/p>\n This assault on democracy cannot be ignored or wished away. Resisting it requires bravery in the face of threats and repression, a steadfast commitment to the truth, and the unwavering belief that we can\u2014and will\u2014overcome this darkness.<\/span><\/p>\n We must have an independent media that sets the record straight, unearths corruption and abuses of power, and advances a politics of justice and dignity for all if we\u2019re to win this fight.<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s why I\u2019m writing to you today.<\/span> This September, <\/b>The Nation <\/i><\/b>needs to add 100 monthly donors to sustain our progressive journalism. <\/b>Your contribution makes the next investigative report, the next truth-speaking column, and the next pathbreaking essay all possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I hope you\u2019ll support our work with a recurring donation today. If you donate $10 or more a month, we\u2019ll send you a brand new \u201cHands Off the Free Press!\u201d sticker to recognise your commitment to our cause. Please, donate today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Onward,<\/span><\/p>\n Katrina vanden Heuvel
