Dear Friends
Just 50 days since taking office, President Biden and Democrats have secured a major and consequential victory: successfully passing the American Rescue Plan (ARP), a bold and historic legislative package that will provide much-needed relief to millions of working people across the country.
Today the DNC is launching ([link removed]) a new push to tout the American Rescue Plan to voters, including a new 60-second television ad, “Help Is Here ([link removed]) ,” that highlights how President Biden and Democrats have delivered real, tangible results for the American people and their families by making the American Rescue Plan a reality.
House and Senate Republicans turned their back on the American people and played games with the relief package families need — and not a single one voted for the bill. This relief package is supported by a bipartisan majority of the public.
A CBS News-YouGov poll ([link removed]) found that 75% of voters approve of Congress passing this COVID relief bill, including 77% of independents.
A Politico/Morning Consult poll ([link removed]) found that 75% of voters support the American Rescue Plan, including 71% of independents and 59% of Republican voters.
Without you, these victories aren’t possible. To win elections in 2021, 2022 and beyond, we need trusted voices like yours to spread the word now about this incredible victory and what it means for people across the country. This is our time to help our friends and neighbors understand how the ARP benefits them, and what Democrats are able to deliver with their support.
Thank you,

DETAILS OF THE LEGISLATION
* DIRECT PAYMENTS TO 85% OF HOUSEHOLDS: ARP will send checks of up to $1400 per person to 85% of American households – the single largest direct payment to date. A low- or middle-income family of four will get $5,600 in direct checks.
* INVESTMENT IN VACCINE DISTRIBUTION: ARP will allocate $20 billion for vaccine distribution, including $1 billion for the CDC to launch a vaccine awareness and engagement campaign and $7.5 billion to set up vaccination sites across the country.
* UNEMPLOYMENT EXTENDED THROUGH SEPTEMBER: ARP extends enhanced unemployment insurance for around 11 million Americans who would otherwise start losing benefits next week – and protects them from surprise tax bills.
* TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR RENTERS, HOMEOWNERS: ARP extends tens of billions of dollars in rental and homeowners assistance that will benefit lower-income, disproportionately Black and Brown, renters and homeowners.
* $39 BILLION FOR CHILD CARE PROVIDERS: ARP helps working and middle-class families struggling to juggle child care and work by providing money to reopen schools safely and get vaccines in arms, so kids and teachers can safely return to school and parents can go back to work. This includes the most significant investment in American child care since World War II.
* 66 MILLION KIDS WILL BENEFIT FROM CHILD TAX CREDIT: ARP lifts 11 million people out of poverty and cuts child poverty in half, including through a historic expansion of the child tax credit that will benefit 66 million kids across our country.
* EITC EXPANDED TO 17 MILLION WORKERS: ARP expands the Earned Income Tax Credit to 17 million low-income workers.
* HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUMS LOWERED, 100% OF COBRA PREMIUMS COVERED FOR LAID-OFF WORKERS: Significantly reduces health insurance premiums for millions of American families. A family of four making $90,000 could see their monthly premium come down by $200 per month.
