Hi John - I know you don't typically hear from me in
this regard, but given the urgency of this moment, John Podesta asked me to
reach out to you today.

John and I go way back through a few presidential administrations,
as you may know. And it is gratifying to me that we both
find ourselves at CAP now, working with the Biden-Harris administration to build
a pathway for national recovery — John in his role as board chair and me leading
policy development. That's why I invite you to join with John, me, and other like-minded CAP
supporters, as a Champion for Progress with a monthly gift today.

As a CAP Champion for Progress , you will be the lifeblood for our organization; Champions sustain us through
the known and unknown with resources we can count on as we advance critical
priorities: * Recover from the Pandemic
[[link removed]] - CAP remains focused on creating the solutions we need to get Americans
through the virus to a better post-pandemic future. Impact must include a
rapid vaccination rollout in the immediate term and more resources to help
Americans balance work and family in the long-term. It includes policies like
preserving and expanding access to childcare, better wages for working
Americans, and reopening our schools so our children and teachers can return
to in-person learning—safely.
*
* Rescue our Planet
[[link removed]] - You and I know we MUST address the climate crisis. Creating net-zero
carbon emissions by 2050, if not sooner, will not only slow climate change
but will also provide enormous opportunity for resilient infrastructure; new,
sustainable jobs; workforce training; and can help repair the damage done to
communities that have felt the impact of environmental racism.
*
* Rewire America’s Economy and Realize Opportunity for All
[[link removed]] - Covid-19 has underscored the weaknesses in our economy which have
increased the wage and wealth gaps in rural communities and cities across the
country. CAP is putting forth economic growth plans that are sustainable and
equitable, that create high-wage jobs and leave no one behind in skills
development and education.
*
* Restore our Democracy
[[link removed]] - Beyond repairing the national division that was so clear over the last few
years, we also need to address the erosion of our democracy and tolerance for
right-wing nationalism that brought our country to its most critical
constitutional and democratic crisis just a few weeks ago. We need to restore
our democratic norms and safeguard against the complicit acts that brought us
to the brink.
*
* Resolutely Fight for Racial Justice and Equity
[[link removed]] - From the air we breathe to where and how we are educated, to building and
maintaining wealth, to treatment within our judicial system, the tenets of
our democracy and society too often have been rigged against Black people,
Indigenous people, all people of color. Communities of color have been
marginalized and set up to fail. That must end. We require - demand - racial
justice and systemic equity. And we’re working with the Biden-Harris
administration to build plans that can deliver it.

John, we have a lot of work to do, and we
need you by our side. Please take this step: join
[[link removed]] Champions for Progress
[[link removed]] today as a monthly donor right away.

Yes! I'm a Champion for Progress

America will thank you for it. And I will, too.

For progress,

Mara Rudman
Executive Vice President, Policy
Center for American Progress
