Friend,
This month, the House passed a $3.5 trillion budget resolution to invest in everything from Medicare expansion to housing affordability to water as a human right. Unfortunately, that full $3.5 trillion investment is far from guaranteed.
Several corporate Democrats in the House aren’t ready to make the rich and corporations pay their fair share in taxes. They’d rather protect the Trump-GOP tax cuts for the wealthy than invest in our families and communities.
We know that every dollar not raised from the rich and corporations is a dollar not invested in our future. That’s why I’m fighting to ensure Congress goes big and bold―and raises the full $3.5 trillion in revenue by cracking down on wealthy tax dodgers and ensuring the rich and corporations pay their fair share. Donate today to fuel the fight to win >>
This month, corporate Democrats in the House threatened to derail critical investments in our future, demanding the House first vote on an infrastructure bill that is insufficient to meet the urgency of the moment.
Instead of an infrastructure plan that invests in more highways, we need one that prepares us for the current realities of the climate crisis―and, instead of billions of dollars in fossil fuel giveaways, we need investments that open doors of opportunity to urban and rural communities that are continually left behind, including expanding public transit to increase routes and service.
The American people are sick and tired of an unjust status quo that continually puts the profits of millionaires and billionaires ahead of the 99.9%. We know how to invest in our future. We just need the political will to do it.
Donate today to fight for a 10-year $3.5 trillion budget that invests in children, education, housing, nutrition, healthcare affordability, water as a human right, and more―and pay for it by making the rich and corporations pay their fair share.

We have less than one month before a vote is expected in the House on this once-in-a-generation package. Corporate lobbyists are already swarming Capitol Hill, trying to maintain every tax break and carve-out for multinational corporations and wealthy investors.
Thankfully, we have you, the people. And with grassroots power, this is a fight we can win.
Always serving you,
Rashida
