 | | | Dear Friend,
With The Nation's matching gift deadline just three days away, I had to reach out.
It can be tempting to indulge in despair when big corporations, real estate moguls, and hedge funds are doing so much to take over our democratic systems. A handful of people in positions of unimaginable power are doing their best to render people powerless.
But here's the thing. We are not powerless. Honesty, community, imagination, history, and humor each have their own power. And democracy is possible with serious, unbought journalism.
But journalism needs your help. It costs money to pay reporters, and big corporate monopolies aren't about to fund the journalism that is investigating them. So I ask that you make a generous gift to support a cause close to my heart: The Nation's exemplary journalism. If you give now, your donation will be matched, dollar-for-dollar.
We are in a revolutionary political moment, where both terrible and more wonderful things are possible. The unafraid progressive wing is rising in Congress. The environment, racism, corruption, and corporate monopolies are gripping the nation's attention.
The superstar new progressives were successful in part because The Nationworked round-the-clock to give vital exposure to these candidates and their platforms when others ignored them. For as long as I can remember, The Nation's journalism has covered the issues I've fought for—eliminating corruption, challenging financial fraud and resource-draining scams, and fighting mass incarceration.
Right now, you can have twice the power in shaping the debate through any democracy's most crucial tool—journalism. But with the match deadline almost here, there isn't much time left. Please double your support while you still can and make a gift today.
Thank you for helping pave the way forward—and Happy New Year in advance! |  | | Sincerely, | Zephyr Teachout

| | P.S. We are at a truly revolutionary moment in our country's history, and if we play our cards right, 2019 could be this progressive movement's most defining year yet. The Nation's reporting exemplifies the values of equality and justice that you and I know can be the cornerstones of American society. Seize this opportunity to help start the coming year with twice the power. |
|
|
 |  | | | Help The Nation meet its goal to continue reporting on the issues that matter in 2019. | |
