We are throwing down with The People's Bailout and the Green New Deal Network to organize a People's Recovery Lobby Week NEXT WEEK starting May 17, where we will talk to our elected officials about a few bills that will have a bold and positive impact on everyday people like ourselves. We have the opportunity to come together in unity and power to demonstrate the strength of our communities and make our collective voices heard.

Are you able to join us for a People's Recovery Lobby Week May 17th - 20th : [link removed]?
We will be meeting with Senators virtually, so no travel is required!
We are having a Lobby Day training on May 12 at 6 PM EST. In training, we go over how to lobby for these bills and determine when and who you will be meeting with.

We need Congress to pass a comprehensive American Jobs Plan and American Families Plan as large as the physical reality of the climate crisis, the economic reality of mass unemployment, and the structural reality of systemic racism. Now is not the time to think small. Congress needs to pass a package that invests 1 trillion dollars a year for the next ten years to create over 15 million good, union, sustainable jobs and build a more just economy.
If we're to Build Back Better, the package needs to include:
Support for home and community-based care and public health jobs to treat America as we come out of the epidemicEconomy-wide investments as proposed in the THRIVE Act—in sectors from clean energy to public transit to family farming to clean manufacturing—to deliver full employment, cut climate pollution in half by 2030, and advance racial, economic, gender, and environmental justice.Provide support for the essential but excluded workers who helped us through the epidemic.We need our elected officials to seize this once-in-a-generation opportunity and pass by August a recovery package that is bold in scale, broad in scope, and strong in standards to deliver the transformation our communities deserve.Click here to join us for the People's Recovery lobby week next week : [link removed]!
If you cannot attend our lobby week, there is still a way to add your voice to the conversation! Share your story on Twitter of how passing a bold recovery plan will impact you : [link removed]. These tweets will be released the week of Lobby Week strategically so your story will be seen by thousands and read aloud in the meetings with elected officials.
Thank you so much for throwing down with us to remind legislators not to make decisions without us!
In Solidarity,
It Takes Roots
