Friend --

The first 100 days of the next administration should look like FDR’s -- and we
have big plans.

I’m focused on a big, bold agenda supporting Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
restoring faith in our democracy and making the government work for the American
people again. We’ll be focused on everything from climate action to wealth and
income inequality to criminal justice reform to passing laws that change the
structure of our democracy by making it far easier to vote. 

There’s a lot of work to do ahead, and the work starts today: Will you commit to supporting the Democrats’ bold agenda for change in the first 100 days? [link removed] ADD YOUR NAME → [link removed]

Here’s the plan:

On climate, we’ll focus on a big, strong, aggressive climate agendathat takes into account working people and racial injustice. We’ve already been
working in the Senate on the THRIVE Agenda -- a bold plan to fight climate
change, create millions of union jobs, invest in Black, brown, and Indigenous
communities, fight environmental injustice, and reinvest in public institutions.

Our next focus is wealth and income inequality,including raising the minimum wage nationwide to $15 an hour, changing the tax
code so it’s fairer for working families, strengthening labor unions,
championing infrastructure, and getting rid of student debt. This last point is
a big one, because I have a proposal with Senator Elizabeth Warren that the
first $50,000 of student debt be erased by executive action -- something we
think Joe Biden can do with the stroke of a pen shortly after entering the Oval
Office.

Next is criminal justice reform -- and voters agree. Voters in four more states this election voted to legalize adult recreational
use of marijuana, and that proves once again it’s past time to work to undo the
harm done by misplaced priorities, particularly in Black and brown communities.
It’s time to decriminalize marijuana nationally.

Lastly -- it needs to be easier for all Americans to vote and for those votes to
be counted. If this election taught us anything, it’s that too many Americans face too many
hurdles to making their voice heard, facing long lines, bureaucracy, and
sometimes intimidation. Once they vote, Republican legislatures make it harder
for votes to be counted if they suspect those votes could be from Democratic
cities, leading to the long delays we’re still facing in getting results in some
states. That has to change -- and it has to change now.

We can do all this and more if we fight for it -- are you in? Add your name to support Democrats’ bold agenda for change in the first 100 days of the Biden-Harris Administration. [link removed]

Sincerely,

Chuck Schumer
