John,
Our pressure is working! Right now, 23 House Democrats have publicly declared they will oppose the bipartisan infrastructure bill until our Build Back Better agenda is passed.
We’re fighting to unrig our tax system, reward work not wealth, and invest in a future that includes all of us, not just the wealthy few.
Check out Frank’s email below and then rush a contribution right now before tonight’s expected vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill. Our entire agenda is on the line!
It’s time for Congress to listen to the American people, who overwhelmingly support making the rich and corporations start paying their fair share in taxes.
Thank you for your activism and support.

-- Frank's email --
John,
In order to pass the once-in-a-generation Build Back Better agenda―paid for by finally making the rich and corporations pay their fair share―progressives are holding the line, demanding a vote on President Biden’s 10-year $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation package before Congress passes the bipartisan infrastructure bill.
That infrastructure bill may be voted on tonight. If it passes before the Build Back Better Act, our entire agenda could be sunk.
All month, Americans for Tax Fairness and our allies have been directing thousands of calls and letters to members of Congress, demanding they go big and bold, and reminding them how popular these investments are when they’re 100% paid for by increasing taxes on millionaires, billionaires and corporations.
Can you rush a contribution to keep the pressure on Congress to pass the Build Back Better Act―and unrig our tax system to reward work not wealth? Democrats must Hold The Line on the original agreement of Congress not voting on the bipartisan infrastructure bill until the Build Back Better agenda is passed.
If passed, the Build Back Better Act will:
-
Make healthcare, eldercare, childcare, education and housing more affordable;
-
Expand Medicare to cover hearing, dental, and vision;
-
Provide universal pre-K for 3- and 4-year olds and free community college;
-
Create comprehensive paid family and medical leave;
-
Help create a clean energy economy;
-
Extend the expanded Child Tax Credit, which has the potential to cut child poverty in half.
This is the moment when we see who is truly with the American people and who’s with Wall Street and Corporate America.
With a possible vote tonight on the bipartisan infrastructure bill, rush a contribution and help us make sure Democrats Hold The Line and oppose this vote until we secure the votes on the full Build Back Better agenda.

Thank you for standing with us in this critical fight to unrig our tax system and invest in our future.
