Team,
Today marks the 100th day for the Biden presidency. Earlier this month, the 117th Congress passed our own 100th day. In this short time, we’ve passed a lot of smart, strong legislation in the House:
✅ The American Rescue Plan (COVID relief + direct stimulus payments)
✅ The For The People Act (Democracy Reform + Safeguarding Elections)
✅ The Equality Act (LGBTQ+ Rights)
✅ The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act (Criminal Justice Reform)
✅ The John Lewis Voting Rights Act (Expanding Voting Rights)
✅ The Bipartisan Background Checks Act (Common Sense Gun Reform)
✅ The Dream And Promise Act (Immigration Reform)
But with one exception (the American Rescue Plan), these measures haven’t been taken up in the Senate or signed into law.
As NewDems, we keep one important question at the front of our minds: "What’s next?"
It takes more than a vote to deliver results. We need passage in both the House and Senate, as well as a signature from the President.
Just as important: We need durable solutions that will last well into the future — not measures that a future House, Senate, or President will strike down and overturn.
Being loud and bold isn’t enough. Beating our chests on Twitter and cable news isn’t enough. We have to welcome fresh voices into our movement and compellingly make the case that our vision can work for every American in every zip code across the country.
That means building strong support across ideologies, across parties, across geographic lines and across the urban/suburban/rural divide. That’s NewDems. If you believe in durable solutions that go beyond slogans or partisan posturing, stand with us. Chip in $5 or more today.

We did a lot in our first 100 days, but we can’t hang our hat on that. We have to think about the next 100 days, the next 100 weeks, and the next 100 years. The work never stops, and neither will we. Thanks for being with us.
