Indivisibles,
We’re ramping up the pressure next week to make sure that the House reconciliation bill includes all our progressive priorities and passes by the September 27 deadline. That means we only have nine days to continue supporting the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) as they leverage their votes and push for an inclusive recovery package. That’s nine days that we need to keep holding conservative Democrats accountable to their constituents and not big money and corporations. And that’s only nine more days that we can continue the targeted work with key committees in the House. The single most important thing you can do is call. Click here to call your representative and tell them you expect them to support an inclusive recovery package and to pass it before the bipartisan infrastructure bill.
And just so we don’t forget what’s at stake, here’s what an inclusive recovery can look like:
- A pathway to citizenship for millions of immigrants;
- Lowering drug prices, expanding Medicare to cover vision, dental, and hearing, and lowering the eligibility age to 60 years old;
- Investments in climate, including a Clean Energy Standard (with no fossil fuels!) and a Civilian Climate Corps;
- Investments in housing, especially deeply affordable housing and housing for unhoused populations;
- Historic investments in the care economy including universal child care, paid leave, and home and community-based care; and
- Address extreme wealth inequality by taxing the ultra-rich and big corporations so they finally pay their fair share.
The CPC made some important wins in recent days on key priorities like affordable child care and bold climate provisions. These wins were possible because we had their backs -- and now they need our support more than ever to ensure this package doesn’t get watered down by Republicans and conservative Democrats.

These next few days are crucial to achieving the bold recovery that Americans desperately need before the September 27 deadline. Let’s get to work.
In solidarity, Indivisible team
