Dear MoveOn member,

Wednesday marked the beginning of a new era—and we're already seeing the
impact.

The first step to rejoining the Paris Agreement to confront climate
change. A proposal for a pathway to citizenship for 11 million
undocumented Americans without any increased enforcement. The end of the
Muslim and African Ban. And there is so much more President Biden and Vice
President Harris can and will have to do to meet the crises of the
moment—and their accomplishments require us to fight alongside them and
push them and the Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress to
govern boldly and swiftly to create real change.

accomplishments on day one? Check it out, share it, and use it to tell the
world about how elections have consequences. Then recommit to working for
even more progress toward an America that works for all of us through the
first 100 days of the Biden-Harris administration and beyond.

President Biden and Vice President Harris now have a historic opportunity
to rise to meet a series of crises facing our country. The work of day one
was inspirational. There's more to come—and so much more we need from them
and the Democratic majorities in Congress:

* A massive COVID relief and stimulus package that puts people—not
corporations—first, that includes recurring direct payments to
Americans, a longtime plan to prevent a foreclosure and eviction
crisis, free health care for all Americans, and coverage for
undocumented Americans—building upon President Biden's framework to
increase the minimum wage to $15, invest in vaccination distribution
and testing, and bring relief to state and local governments.
* Sweeping measures to finally make our democracy work for all of us—to
curtail the influence of money in politics, expand voting access,
restore ethics and transparency, and more. This includes statehood for
Washington, D.C., so that the hundreds of thousands of Americans in
this majority-Black city are fully represented in the halls of
Congress and have access to the resources they need and deserve.
* A moonshot level of focus and investment in combating climate change
through a green recovery and an end to reliance on fossil fuels.
* Freeing millions of Americans from billions in student debt that is a
burden on our economy and giving these Americans a chance to live
their lives without the hardship of education debt.
* An overhaul of our criminal justice system to dismantle the carceral
state and to defund the police who systematically use violence against
Black and brown people.
* Restoring the rights of millions of LGBTQ+ people who deserve to be
treated equally in health care, adoption, their service to their
country, and every aspect of their lives.

And that's on top of working to make sure Republicans don't block
essential stimulus measures and steps to confront the coronavirus, making
President Biden's plan for immigration a reality, confirming bold
appointees to the courts and critical commissions—all while Congress, the
Department of Justice, and law enforcement agencies across the country
need to tackle the threat of violent white supremacists and hold Trump and
his seditious GOP enablers accountable for the violence they incited two
weeks ago. Majority Leader Schumer must eliminate the filibuster, or all
of this could be impossible to pass in the Senate.

Democrats must use every tool at their disposal to deliver real relief and
progress to communities, from reforming the broken rules of our
institutions to executive orders.

Trump may be gone, but let's not pretend that makes any of this work easy.
Republicans will seek to block the Biden-Harris agenda. Democrats, eyeing
a narrow majority, may be cautious. Big Money lobbyists will shout to be
heard. Right-wing extremists and white supremacists still stand at the
ready.

So we'll need to shout louder. We'll need to use our power.

Today, we can raise our voices with cheers of joy, relief, and hope at the
new era and the progress we're already seeing. [ [link removed] ]Share this Inauguration
Day video on the big proposals President Biden has already enacted, and
add what you want to see him do next.

Tomorrow, we'll double our efforts to raise our voices to demand the White
House and Congress take aggressive steps and that we see solutions as big
as the challenges we face.

Thanks for all you do.
