 Hey John, we just wanted to make sure you saw Audrey’s update from the other day. A LOT IS HAPPENING, and the fate of today’s vote on the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal” and a $3.5 trillion climate action and jobs reconciliation package called the Build Back Better Act is anyone’s guess, really! Wherever things land in Congress by the end of today, we’re ready to break it all down and chart out our course for what’s next. Can you join us for our “WTF JUST HAPPENED IN CONGRESS??” mass organizing call tonight at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT? RSVP now to save your spot and receive the details on how to join. Talk soon, All of us at Sunrise
---------- Forwarded message --------- No matter what happens in Congress this week, we’ll be there to break it all down. Sign up for our “WTF JUST HAPPENED IN CONGRESS??” mass organizing call this Thursday, September 30 at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT. John, We have lots of updates, and we’re going to try to break it all down as quickly as possible. Here goes: You’ve probably heard a lot about the House’s Monday deadline to vote on the infrastructure bill — yeah, today. Otherwise known as the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal,” it does cover a lot of funding for roads and bridges but not a lot of money for other important projects like helping communities most impacted by overlapping climate and economic crises. (Shoutout to corporate Democrats and their Big Oil friends for making it happen. 🙄) Well, that vote is now happening on Thursday. That’s because progressives and activists like us demanded that a transformative bill called the Build Back Better Act should get a vote at the same time — not either/or. It would bring to reality the first pieces of the Green New Deal we’ve organized so damn hard for over the last five years! The schedule change gives us more time to organize, which is a good thing. All week, we’ll be camping out on the steps of the U.S. Capitol with People’s Watch to demand that Congress holds the line on investments in our communities. We really, really hope you can join us, Audrey
