This tweet just about sums up the state of things in Congress right now:
That’s right: Republicans are planning to fight corporate tax increases during a crisis that’s left millions of families struggling to afford food and pay rent — all while corporations and billionaires get even richer.
I’ve long known that progressive change isn’t handed to us. WE organize to make it happen. As an activist, I helped make Seattle the first major city in America to increase the minimum wage to $15, even though big corporations tried to stop us at every turn. And I continue that fight in Congress today, along with the many other fights that you know I hold dear to my heart — making the rich pay their fair share, getting big money out of politics, Medicare for All, a humane immigration system, racial justice, LGBTQ+ equality, and so much more — because working families are counting on us.
In full transparency, we fell a little short of our mid-month goal on Friday. But if we can raise $4,123 by midnight tonight, our fundraising will be right back on track. Will you chip in $3 or more right now? I don’t take a cent of corporate PAC money, which makes small-dollar contributions from emails like this one all the more critical:
In solidarity — always,
