Friend,

The Senate is crafting their budget bill right now, and we’re working hard to make sure they go bold and raise at least $4 trillion in revenue by making the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share in taxes. But we need your help! 

Can you call your Senator right now and demand they support a budget that raises at least $4 trillion more in taxes from the rich and corporations to fund bold investments in working families and our future?

It’s critical that Senator Catherine Cortez Masto hears from you today. Budget reconciliation gives us the opportunity to make big, bold investments in healthcare, eldercare, childcare, education, housing, Child Tax Credit expansion, clean energy, paid family leave, and more.

It’s also our chance to undo the Trump tax scam, unrig our tax code for working families in Nevada, and build an economy that rewards work, not wealth.

Some Senators claim we “can’t afford” big, bold investments in working families, but while billionaires got 60% ($1.8 trillion) richer during the pandemic [1], 55 Fortune 500 companies paid $0 in federal income taxes last year [2]. Call Senator Cortez Masto and urge her to continue fighting for Nevadans, because when the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share in taxes, Nevada's working people benefit!

Here’s a suggested call script to support President Biden’s Build Back Better Plan:

"Hello, my name is _______ and I’m a constituent of Senator Cortez Masto’s. I wanted to thank the Senator for supporting a budget that raises at least $4 trillion by making the rich and corporations pay their fair share of taxes, because... 

• Congress could use that money to ease the burden of high costs regarding healthcare, childcare, eldercare, college, housing and other needs of working families here in Nevada. 
• It will be paid for by making big corporations and those earning over $400,000 pay their fair share. 
• It won’t raise taxes on those earning under $400,000. 
• Polls show this agenda is overwhelmingly supported by the public. 

Please share my thanks with the Senator, and urge her to hold strong on securing $4 trillion in new investments, paid for by making the rich and corporations pay their fair share in taxes."

Thank you, and see you on the phone lines!
