Every day seems to bring us a new excuse from West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin on why he’s opposed to long-overdue investments in working people, families, and our communities — investments that are supported by the rest of his party and the American people.
And yesterday, he went after bold progressives like Pramila for her urgent work to pass a historic Build Back Better package in addition to the bipartisan infrastructure bill:
“What's the urgency? What's the urgency that we have?”
Well Senator Manchin, the urgency is around:
👶🏾Child care for all kids and paid leave so parents don’t have to quit their jobs to take care of their children
🩺Health care coverage and Medicare expansion as the Delta variant surges
⛈Climate action as storms, fires, heatwaves, and flooding gets worse across the country
🏡Housing as we face an affordability crisis that leaves too many without a roof over their head
Our movement is bigger than just one senator — and there’s real power in numbers, which is why it’s so important that we double down on our efforts to support Pramila’s work for a bold Build Back Better package. If you're with us in this fight, can you contribute $3 or whatever you can afford to our campaign today to help us win real benefits for working people across the country? Unlike Senator Manchin, Pramila doesn’t accept a cent from the corporate PACs trying to stop us:
In solidarity,
