The Nation Magazine's Second Online Fundraising Auction -- Coming Soon

America's oldest weekly magazine is in the midst of planning our second annual, entirely one-of-a-kind online auction!  Last year's was such a success, we're doing it all again, this time with newly uncovered items as well as items donated by friends and supporters of the magazine.

Maybe you have your own piece of lefty history you'd like to donate to the auction. If so, please click the Donate Items link to the left.

Imagine the treasures saved up from our first 145 years of publishing!

That's a lot of history -- too much to sit and collect dust in our office.  So once again we're cleaning out drawers and searching old boxes for unique items just for you.  We want to make sure you get a chance to have your own piece of The Nation.

You don't have to be a big spender. There's something for everyone.  And many make unusual gifts for friends and family.

Here's just a brief sample list of what items will be up for bidding. 

• Two Tickets on the 2009 Nation Cruise and lunch with Victor Navasky
• Two giant murals from WPA artist Mary Perry Stone
  
• Lunch with Katrina in NYC at the Union Square Cafe
• Katha Pollitt will read your manuscript and comment!
• Copies of the original 100th anniversary issue of The Nation
• Original letterpress stamps for Nation cartoons and caricatures from the 1940s and 1950s
• Original artwork from cartoonists Ed Sorel and Robert Grossman
  
• Dinner and a Movie with our Film Critic Stuart Klawans

. . . and a whole a lot more.

Please be sure to sign up for Email Updates to the left so that we can remind you when we add new items to the catalog and when our Auction Opens.

You'll be helping to support this one of a kind publication in these very challenging economic times. Thank you in advance for helping to keep The Nation alive and thriving!
