[ [link removed] ]Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress




By a vote of 220-212, Congress took a monumental step this week toward
passing our $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill. By some measures,
this bill would be the most consequential step forward for working
families since the New Deal era.

Not enough people are talking about how big this could be!

The resolution would invest in a number of key priorities:

+------------------------------------------------------------------+
| ✅ Fund universal pre-K for children ages 3-4 |
| ✅ Expand Medicare to cover hearing, dental and vision |
| ✅ Offer two years of free community college |
| ✅ Cement $300 monthly child tax credit checks for families |
| ✅ Address climate change head on by reducing emissions |
| ✅ Support working parents with childcare funding |
| ✅ Lower prescription drug costs |
| ✅ Establish a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants |
| ✅ Address climate change head on by reducing emissions |
| ✅ Raise taxes on the wealthy and large corporations |
+------------------------------------------------------------------+

Look, the truth is that without the leadership of Alexandria and her
progressive colleagues, this bill would have died in the House this week.

At the last possible moment before a key vote, a handful of conservative
Democrats threatened to block the bill altogether. They wanted to pass a
much weaker Republican-backed bill that invests in physical infrastructure
only so that they could chip away or vote ‘no’ altogether on this budget
bill.

Alexandria and the progressive caucus showed solidarity, refusing to cave
and reaffirming they’ll only vote for the infrastructure bill if the House
passes this package that delivers on overdue promises for working
families. It made all the difference, and in the end, the resolution to
move forward passed by just a few votes.

But the fight isn’t over. So we’re asking for your support. [ [link removed] ]Can you make a $3

We’re on the brink of passing this extremely historic investment in
American families, but there’s still a lot of fight left to be had.
Conservative Democrats in the Senate are already talking about shrinking
the bill.

With the public on our side, and a grassroots movement behind Alexandria
and other congressional progressives, we can win.

Without your support, Alexandria couldn’t be in D.C. fighting for us in
the first place. [ [link removed] ]So, if you can today, please make a
$3 donation to our campaign so we can defend her seat and
keep leading the fight to pass this historic plan.

Thank you for being a part of our grassroots movement.
