Without the IRA, and bold progressive voices who aren’t afraid to stand up to the status quo, our country would be far worse off.
John,
One year ago today, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act — the single LARGEST investment in climate action EVER. Since then, investment in clean energy has soared and green jobs are being created in communities all across the country.
Not only that, the Inflation Reduction Act achieved many of the goals progressive organizers like you and me have been fighting for decades to achieve. For the first time, Big Pharma lost and the people won. Medicare was finally able to negotiate the cost of some prescription drugs. And we’re doing it all by taxing the wealthiest corporations to actually begin to pay their fair share.
And we’re just getting started.
John, can we count on you to chip in $3 or whatever you’re able to give today to help boost our momentum and continue fighting for bold policies that protect the people, our planet, and our future?

The IRA is our movement’s boldest shot at creating a new industrial policy that focuses on the people, our climate, and our workforce first — not big corporate profits.
The Congressional Progressive Caucus spearheaded the efforts to keep hope alive and pass the IRA. You can see just how big that victory is by looking at what the IRA does:
- Take on climate change in an urgent way, including investing $369 billion in clean energy and climate action, and cutting carbon emissions by 40% by 2030.
- Empower Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices, which will immediately lower prescription costs.
- Tax the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations with a minimum corporate tax rate and investing in the IRS to ensure the wealthy pay their fair share.
- Lower Affordable Care Act premiums for millions by increasing subsidies to Americans most in need, building on what we did in the American Rescue Plan.
While the GOP and right-wing establishment actors have done more than their fair share to strip the IRA of critical pieces, and even claim the success as their own — we know the truth: Without the IRA, and bold progressive voices who aren’t afraid to stand up to the status quo, our country would be far worse off.
These wins are huge, but we must stay vigilant and ready to protect our hard fought progress. Chip in today in support of the IRA as well as Pramila and President Biden’s collective work to show up and show out for the people.
Together,
Pramila Jayapal
