Indivisibles,

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) will reach its two-year anniversary in August, but why should we wait to celebrate and promote its accomplishments?

Join the Powering Progress campaign as we celebrate the Inflation Reduction Act through May!

Why are we still celebrating the IRA?

In short, because it’s still a big deal! And while we have made an impact, polling from last fall shows that 41% of registered voters haven’t heard anything about the IRA and 22% have only heard a little. But, among people who do know about it, it’s very popular.

A major goal of Powering Progress is to help people understand the role of the federal government. For a lot of people, the only thing they hear about the government is what’s going wrong. Showing them what this bill has accomplished disrupts that narrative and increases support for an active and inclusive government.

Let’s remind people that, with their support, it is possible to have a government that works for them.

What's a Movement Moment?

Oftentimes, we’ll host a week of action, an event, or a call to action to activate our network of incredible activists. These are great. They provide direct, actionable occasions for our members to participate at a specific time.

What if your community has an IRA-funded project beginning in three weeks?
What if you have an idea to take advantage of a holiday next month?
What if you just need a little extra time to plan?

Well, that’s why we’re running a Movement Moment.

This time around, we’re going for a broader reach. Spring is a time for celebrating new beginnings. While the weather gets warmer and flowers bloom, it’s time to pollinate a larger field.

Throughout April and all the way through May, we will be supporting Indivisibles across the country as they host events hyping up the Inflation Reduction Act. This gives you the time to plan, the flexibility to execute, and the freedom to dream up some incredible events.

So, what are we doing?

Host a community tabling event where you set up in a high traffic area and drive conversation about the IRA.
Go talk to some new, ideologically-aligned members of your community with our new Neighbor2Neighbor tool (available April 9).
Host an LTE party with your community where you all write about the incredible impacts of the Inflation Reduction Act in your lives.

You have the power to decide what your events look like, but we are here to support you! That support can look like:

Up to $200 in reimbursements for your event
Event-in-a-box supplies for a tabling event (available for the first 25 requests)
A social media toolkit for all of your campaign and event hype needs
LTE templates to give you a great place to start your party

All of this and more is contained within the Powering Progress Movement Moment Toolkit.

There are so many great ways to be a part of this campaign. But, no matter how you take advantage of this Movement Moment, remember to register your event with us so that you can make sure to qualify for reimbursements and swag.

One more time, just what did the IRA do?

The Inflation Reduction Act was a signature piece of legislation passed in 2022.

If you want to get really nerdy, there are a ton of resources where you can dive deep into how the IRA works for the American people. But you don’t need to know all the ins and outs, just the key investments and projects that will keep making our lives better in the coming years.

But here are some quick hits:

IRA Highlights

Approximately 9 million jobs created over the next 10 years
Homeowners can take advantage of discounts to reduce the costs of making their homes more energy efficient
1.5 million people will save hundreds of dollars every year due to the $35 cap on the price of insulin for Medicare
Reduced premiums by up to $800 for people who buy insurance on their own
Modernizing and weatherizing the electrical grid
Since August of 2022, companies have broken ground on more than 500 new projects (PDF) that will bring clean energy and new jobs to communities across the country

And that’s just a small taste of the benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act.

As winter begins to thaw for Americans across the country, what better way to celebrate than to get out in your community and spread the news of how our government is working for them.

If that sounds nerdy (it kind of is 😊), don’t forget that every person you inform about the IRA has the potential to save hundreds of dollars annually. It’s not just enough for the government to create great programs if no one knows enough about them to take advantage. This is your chance to help your community.
