Repro Nation
The fight for reproductive freedom didn’t begin when former President Trump stacked the Supreme Court with a conservative supermajority, and it will not end now that the justices have overturned Roe. The Nation has covered this fight for decades, and we are proud to offer readers Repro Nation, a monthly newsletter featuring up-to-date information on the latest in the fight for reproductive justice—providing resources on abortion access, news from the movement, and a mix of doom, gloom, and silver linings.

Introducing the New TheNation.com

The Nation is out this week with a redesign of TheNation.com that signals our commitment to delivering a reader experience as pleasurable and committed to progress as our journalism. A far cry from our first launch in 1997 (with that unforgettable lightning bolt!), the new site was created in partnership with Athletics NYC and marks our ongoing investment in delivering quality independent journalism to the next generation of readers. At a spry almost-158-years old, our mission and our message remain as vital as ever. The ability to create the new site is thanks to the support of subscribers like you; we hope you like it! ⁣
