John,

We’re fighting alongside President Biden to make the greatest investment in working families since the Great Depression. Our latest digital ad is helping to drive calls to U.S. representatives, demanding they raise the full $3.5 trillion from the rich and corporations to fund the president’s Build Back Better Act.

Now, the White House is out with a new report, highlighting how our rigged tax system benefits wealth over work:

The report shows that billionaires pay an average effective federal income tax rate of just over 8%[1]―the average U.S. family pays closer to 14%.[2]

Can you rush a donation today to power our latest digital ad and keep driving calls to U.S. representatives? With a vote expected next week in the House, we’re applying maximum pressure, reminding members of Congress that major investments in our future can be paid for when the rich and corporations start paying their fair share.

Check out Andrea’s email below for more details, then chip in today.

Thank you,

John,

We’re on the cusp of the greatest investment in the American people since FDR’s New Deal. But we’re up against massive corporate interests―Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Tech and the Chamber of Commerce―that are trying to kill the bill.

We’re fighting back with grassroots power! Our latest digital ad shows President Biden, in his own words, demanding the rich and corporations start paying their fair share in taxes. We’re standing side-by-side with the president to unrig our tax system and reward work, not wealth.

Just this month, we’ve driven 113,000 letters to Congress, demanding they raise the full $3.5 trillion from the rich and corporations to fund President Biden’s Build Back Better Act. And now, we’re driving calls to U.S. representatives to keep up the pressure.

Help us drive even more calls into congressional offices by boosting our latest digital ad. Donate today to bring this ad to hundreds of thousands of people, urging them to call their representative today! With a vote expected soon in the House, there’s no time to lose.

If we’re successful, we will:

✔ make the boldest investments since the Great Depression
✔ create millions of good-paying jobs
✔ make healthcare, education, childcare, and housing more affordable
✔ unrig our tax code and #RewardWorkNotWealth

But in order to create an economy that works for all of us, we need millionaires and billionaires to start paying their fair share―including by closing the Billionaires Loophole that allows a lifetime of capital gains from stocks and other investments to go forever untaxed.

Today, the White House is out with a new report showing that billionaires pay an average effective federal income tax rate of just over 8%,[1] compared to the average U.S. family, which pays closer to 14%.[2]

Together, we’re going to unrig our tax system to reward work, not wealth. Donate today to bring our latest digital ad to hundreds of thousands of people and drive calls to U.S. representatives before they vote on the Build Back Better Act.

We’re so close! Let’s keep fighting until we win.
