Above all, The Nation is values-driven. Ideas and solutions-oriented. And our mission is to shift paradigms, to broaden public discourse, to open minds and inform opinion, and to take an active part in constructing a more progressive society. We cherish our ability to make a tangible impact. We publish The Nation not to make a profit, but to make a difference. From helping to inspiring million-person protests and testifying at Congressional hearings to being cited in judicial decisions or being the first to seed an idea not yet visible and give a voice to the disenfranchised, we make things happen. Instigating progress — it’s not only our legacy, it’s our continued commitment to future generations of progressive torchbearers.
