Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell remains out of step with the American people and has vowed to fight President Biden’s game-changing American Jobs Plan “every step of the way.” 1 And unfortunately, some of Pennsylvania’s Republican members of Congress are lining up behind him.
Already, Congressman Dan Meuser has called the plan “wishful and theoretical” and Congressman Guy Reschenthaler called it “preposterous.” 2
There is nothing “theoretical” or “preposterous” about a clean energy future, investments in communities of color that have been disproportionately impacted by climate change, or growing our economy with green, good-paying, union jobs.
We know that this is the right path forward for our country and for Pennsylvania. But we clearly have a lot of hard work ahead of us to make sure enough of Pennsylvania’s members of Congress are on board. We will work hard over the next few months to lobby our members of Congress, educate and mobilize Pennsylvanians across the state, and make this plan a reality.
Will you help us send a message to our members of Congress that Pennsylvanians support the American Jobs Plan by becoming a member TODAY? >> [[link removed]]
The American Jobs Plan will launch us into a new era of clean energy, sustainability, and environmental justice. It will invest billions in affordable, clean energy. It will shore up our failing roads and bridges and will create new infrastructure like broadband, electric vehicle charging stations, and expanded public transportation -- and create good-paying jobs in the process. And it will make way overdue investments directly in communities of color to combat environmental injustice.
In fact, the American Jobs Plan has such potential for creating jobs and boosting our economy that the United Mine Workers of America has come out in support of it and more than a thousand state and municipal officials from all 50 states have spoken out for it. 3
But unfortunately, we have just the slimmest of margins in Congress to pass it, and getting enough members of the Pennsylvania delegation on board is going to take a massive lobbying and outreach effort we hadn’t budgeted for.
We need to make sure we have enough resources to fight back against Mitch McConnell and his allies in Congress who want to derail President Biden’s plan. Will you become a member TODAY? DONATE >> [[link removed]]
