Friend,
In 2017, when Republicans had the majority, they used the reconciliation process to pass enormous tax breaks for the billionaire class and large corporations. Now, we are using reconciliation in a different way―by helping ordinary people and creating a government that works for all, not just the few.
I was recently in Detroit with Rep. Rashida Tlaib, to discuss with voters the most significant piece of legislation to benefit working families since the New Deal and the Great Depression: the $3.5 trillion reconciliation package, which the U.S. House will soon vote on.
Rashida is fighting by my side to ensure billionaires and corporations pay their fair share of taxes, to take on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry, and finally begin the process of combating climate change.
Can you make a contribution to her campaign today to fight for legislation that finally addresses the long-neglected needs of low- and moderate-income families?
This upcoming $3.5 trillion reconciliation process could be a giant step forward in addressing such structural crises as income and wealth inequality, climate change, health care, education and housing—and, in the process, create millions of good-paying jobs.
Rashida is a critical ally in our fights to:
-
expand Medicare to include dental needs as well as hearing aids and glasses
-
end absurdly high U.S. childhood poverty levels by extending the Child Tax Credit, so families continue to receive monthly direct payments of up to $300 a child
-
expand higher education and job-training opportunities for students by making community college tuition-free
-
provide undocumented people living in the U.S. with a pathway to citizenship
-
and much more.
I’m grateful for Rashida’s partnership as we fight for legislation to improve millions of people’s lives. We’re working toward a compassionate, democratic society where we can have a government that works for all, not just the wealthy few and powerful campaign contributors.
With the U.S. House expected to vote soon on the $3.5 trillion reconciliation package, can you make an urgent contribution to Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s reelection campaign today?
