In June 2019, Nader, who lost his 24-year-old grandniece in the [[Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302|Ethiopian Airlines crash]],<ref name="MacGillis-2019">{{cite news |last1=MacGillis |first1=Alec |title=The Case Against Boeing |url=https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/11/18/the-case-against-boeing |magazine=The New Yorker |date=November 8, 2019 }}</ref> claimed that the [[Boeing 737 Max]] "must never fly again... it's not a matter of software. It's a matter of structural design defect: the plane's engines are too much for the traditional fuselage".<ref name="Nader-Boeing"/> Nader also called for [[Boeing]] top leaders to resign and said that the [[Federal Aviation Administration]] "has been in the pockets of the Boeing company for years".<ref name="Nader-Boeing">{{cite news |last1=Beene |first1=Ryan |title=Ralph Nader Says Boeing 737 Max Is Flawed and Should Never Fly Again |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-06-04/nader-says-boeing-737-max-is-flawed-and-should-never-fly-again |publisher=Bloomberg News |date= June 4, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Bursztynsky |first=Jessica |title=Consumer advocate Ralph Nader says Boeing 737 Max should never fly again |work=CNBC |date=July 23, 2019 |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/23/ralph-nader-says-boeing-737-max-should-never-fly-again.html }}</ref>

====D.C. Library Renaissance Project====
In 2002, Nader founded the D.C. Library Renaissance Project, which has sought to halt the development of the [[West End Neighborhood Library|West End Library]] in Washington, D.C., alleging that it "violated affordable housing guidelines, undervalued the land, and didn't conform to the city's Comprehensive Plan."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://washingtoncitypaper.com/article/376043/court-rules-against-ralph-nader-group-in-library-fight/ |first=Aaron |last=Wiener |title=Court Rules Against Ralph Nader Group in Library Fight |work=Washington City Paper |date=August 8, 2013 |access-date=October 8, 2013}}</ref> The legal obstacles presented by the Library Renaissance Project have cost the D.C. government over one million dollars in legal fees.<ref name="Washingtoncitypaper.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/articles/44911/ralph-nader-and-dc-public-libraries |title=How Ralph Nader became D.C. libraries' biggest headache (and pissed off a whole neighborhood) |work=Washington City Paper |date=October 4, 2013 |access-date=October 13, 2013}}</ref> Nader has opposed the privatized development of D.C. libraries despite community support, citing a lack of oversight and competitive bidding process.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/opposition-to-dc-public-private-land-deals-imperil-library-other-projects/2013/11/02/8b46ec04-3c44-11e3-b6a9-da62c264f40e_story.html |title=Opposition to D.C. public-private land deals imperil library, other projects |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |date= November 2, 2013|access-date=November 4, 2013 |first=Mike |last=DeBonis}}</ref>

====''Only the Super Rich Can Save Us''====
In 2009 Nader published his first work of fiction, ''[[Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us!]]''. Many of the characters were fictionalized versions of real-life persons including [[Ted Turner]] and [[Warren Buffett]]. The book's principal villain, a "conservative evil genius" named Brovar Dortwist, represents [[Grover Norquist]]. According to Norquist, Nader had called him prior to the book's publication and said he "wouldn't be too unhappy, because the character was principled".<ref>{{cite news|last1=Khatchadourian|first1=Raffi|title=NADER'S BLUEPRINT|url=http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2009/09/28/naders-blueprint|access-date=August 2, 2016|magazine=[[The New Yorker]]|date=September 28, 2009}}</ref>

The novel met with mixed reviews with ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'' noting that the book "reads less like a novel ... than a dream journal" with a plot that victoriously concludes with "American society thoroughly Naderized", though ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'' called it "a powerful idea by the perfect person at a fortuitous time".<ref>{{cite news|last1=Long|first1=Rob|title=One Man's Utopia|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748704471504574440954001791002|access-date=August 2, 2016|work=[[The Wall Street Journal]]|date=September 29, 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Heaps|first1=Toby|title=This way to the future|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/books-and-media/only-the-super-rich-can-save-us-by-ralph-nader/article4286647/|access-date=August 2, 2016|work=The Globe and Mail|date=September 24, 2016}}</ref>

Nader also branched out into fiction with the [[fable]] collection ''Animal Envy'' in 2016.<ref>{{Cite web |title=In 'Animal Envy,' the Animals Speak for Themselves |url=https://www.earthisland.org/journal/index.php/articles/entry/ralph-nader-animal-envy-animals-speak-for-themselves/ |access-date=July 18, 2023 |website=Earth Island Journal}}</ref>

He later moderated a similar debate in a studio appearance broadcast by [[Russia Today]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Nader's third-party debate raises alternate issues|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/onpolitics/2012/11/05/nader-stein-johnson-debate-third-party/1682643/|access-date=August 1, 2016|work=[[USA Today]]|date=November 12, 2012}}</ref>

====American Museum of Tort Law====
In 2015, after a decade planning, Nader founded the [[American Museum of Tort Law]] in [[Winsted, Connecticut]]. The opening ceremonies were emceed by [[Phil Donahue]]. Nader personally donated $150,000 to the establishment of the museum, which was sited on two parcels of land rezoned by the town of Winsted to host it. At the time of its opening, some expressed skepticism that a museum dedicated to [[tort]] would have much interest to the general public, though Nader responded that he was "astounded how a country can go over 200 years and not have a law museum".<ref>{{cite news|title=Buckle Up for Ralph Nader's 'Tort Museum'|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/ralph-nader-is-on-track-to-open-a-tort-museum-in-september-1434502337|access-date=August 1, 2016|work=[[The Wall Street Journal]]|date=June 16, 2016}}</ref>

====Campaign for Harvard admissions reform====
Nader unsuccessfully sought a seat on the [[Harvard University]] Board of Overseers in 2016 as part of an insurgent candidate slate operating under the name "Free Harvard, Fair Harvard" which called for increased transparency by the university as to how it made [[College recruiting|athletic]] and [[Legacy preferences|legacy admissions]] decisions.<ref>{{cite news|title=Nader bid for Harvard board comes up short|url=http://www.politico.com/blogs/under-the-radar/2016/05/nader-bid-for-harvard-board-comes-up-short-223482|access-date=August 1, 2016|work=[[Politico]]|date=May 23, 2016}}</ref> In February of that year, while noting that he would not vote for him personally, he expressed support for [[Donald Trump]] making a third-party run for president, saying that such a move might help break-up the two party system.<ref>{{cite web |title = Ralph Nader on Trump's 2016 presidential bid |url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2_vThJFTzQ|date = August 7, 2015|access-date = February 19, 2016 |work = Fox Business |via=[[YouTube]] }}</ref>

====Newspapers====
Following the closure of ''The Winsted Journal'' in 2017, Nader provided the first funds for ''The Winsted Phoenix'' in 2018 and then pulled backing. The newspaper folded in 2021.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Sillick |first=Bob |date=March 9, 2023 |title=New reporting reveals more turmoil in the Ralph Nader newspaper debacle |url=https://www.editorandpublisher.com/stories/new-reporting-reveals-more-turmoil-in-the-ralph-nader-newspaper-debacle,242638 |access-date=November 22, 2023 |website=[[Editor & Publisher]] |language=en}}</ref> A year later, Nader announced he was financially backing the creation of another newspaper in his hometown called the ''[[Winsted Citizen]]'' and provided $15,000 for the first monthly issue printed February 2023.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Sillick |first=Bob |date=February 27, 2023 |title=The Winsted Citizen: Ralph Nader's gift to his hometown |url=https://www.editorandpublisher.com/stories/the-winsted-citizen-ralph-naders-gift-to-his-hometown,242454 |access-date=November 22, 2023 |website=Editor & Publisher |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Collins |first=Dave |date=November 20, 2023 |title=After trying to buck trend, newspaper founded with Ralph Nader's help succumbs to financial woes |url=https://apnews.com/article/ralph-nader-newspaper-closing-connecticut-1fe0cabb64d32d04e3f9875abb965cfb |access-date=November 22, 2023 |website=[[Associated Press]] |language=en}}</ref>

A month later it was reported Nader failed to provide funding as initially promised for the paper's second edition. He had agreed to cover 75% of the cost, with the newspaper covering the rest. However, the money had not been delivered by the time of the second edition's printing. Instead, at that time Nader offered to give a $8,000 loan, which the newspaper declined to accept.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Sillick |first=Bob Sillick |date=March 6, 2023 |title=Winsted Citizen: Ralph Nader gets the press but leaves his 'gifted' newspaper in the lurch |url=https://www.editorandpublisher.com/stories/winsted-citizen-ralph-nader-gets-the-press-leaves-gifted-newspaper-in-the-lurch,242585 |access-date=November 22, 2023 |website=Editor & Publisher |language=en}}</ref>

In April 2022, Nader founded the print newspaper ''[[Capitol Hill Citizen]]''. According to ''Politico'', the publication's coverage centers on issues important to Nader, such as the growth of corporate influence on the federal government, corruption among lawmakers and the  follies and failures of the mainstream political media.<ref>{{cite web |last=Ward |first=Ian |date=September 4, 2022 |title=Ralph Nader Thinks People Aren't Paying Attention to His Progressive Agenda |url=https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/09/04/ralph-nader-really-really-wants-you-to-pay-attention-to-him-00053368 |website=[[Politico]]}}</ref>
