Dear MoveOn member,
Did you know that America's billionaires have gotten $1.8 trillion, or
62%, wealthier during the pandemic alone? But some in Congress are still
parroting right-wing talking points and claiming we “can't afford”
President Biden's historic $3.5 trillion in Build Back Better investments,
which would benefit working families who suffered the most over the last
17 months.
The naysayers couldn't be more wrong! That's why I'm joining forces with
Senator Elizabeth Warren, Representative Pramila Jayapal, and
Representative Brendan Boyle to make sure Biden's economic agenda becomes
a reality. Biden's plan will be voted on in the U.S. House and Senate in
the coming weeks and a massive lobbying campaign by the rich and
corporations is underway to defeat it—but together, we can make sure
Congress holds firm against this lobbying blitz.

special national mobilization call with Sen. Warren, Rep. Jayapal, Rep.
Boyle, and me?

As Congress comes back to draft, debate, and ultimately pass President
Biden's bold plan for infrastructure, climate, and jobs, we need to make
sure the ultra-wealthy and corporations are paying their fair share and
not being protected by Republicans—and a handful of corporate
Democrats—who are doing their bidding.
That's why we are partnering on tomorrow night's call to give us all
shared marching orders on how to put wind in the sails of Democrats, push
back against Republican obstruction, tax the ultra-wealthy, and invest in
policies that will transform America.
We know that due to our rigged tax code, many of us pay higher federal
income tax rates than the ultra-wealthy, who regularly pay no taxes at
all! It's time we make sure everyone in America pays their fair share
toward our collective future.
That's exactly what President Biden is aiming to do in his Build Back
Better plan. The president and Democrats in Congress are working hard to
pass historic investments in paid leave, affordable child care, universal
pre-K, free community college, affordable health care, lower prescription
drug costs, home- and community-based care, clean energy, and so much
more—paid for by fairer taxes on those at the very top.
But we don't need to stop at just funding these transformative
investments. We're building massive support for other critical ways to
level the playing field and make the wealthiest Americans pay their fair
share, including Sen. Warren's wealth tax plan!
[ [link removed] ]Click here to register for this important call right now.
On the call, you'll hear from myself and leaders and activists across the
country about how you can take action and help Democrats and President
Biden unrig our tax code to make historic investments in families.
Thank you for fighting for an economy that works for all of us, not just
the wealthy and corporations. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow!
Thanks for all you do.
