Dear MoveOn member,
Democrats are on the verge of passing the largest-ever investment in our
country's families and workers—including paid family leave, child care,
and tuition-free community college, as well as essential initiatives to
combat the climate crisis—but a handful of corporate Democrats are
blocking a final deal.
We simply can't back down now and cave to the corporate wing of the
Democratic Party.
That's why MoveOn has been firing on all cylinders, joining with partners
to organize a dayslong "Hold the Line" rally outside the Capitol that has
gotten national press coverage, grabbed the attention of political
leaders, and helped stiffen the spines of progressives in Congress.
Our strategy is working: When corporate Democrats tried holding a vote to
pass a bill that failed to include the bold and transformational
investments our country needs, progressive champions in Congress blocked
the bill from coming up for a vote. As a result, congressional leaders are
back to negotiating, giving us a chance to get this done.
We need to keep up the pressure—and turn up the heat even more. We're
entering the most crucial moments of the negotiations to pass the most
important bill of the Biden presidency, and we need your help.

rallies outside the Capitol and to pressure corporate Democrats like
Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin to pass the Build Back Better Agenda?
John, alongside the dayslong Hold the Line rallies outside the
Capitol, we've launched other big actions to pressure Congress to finalize
a bold deal.
Last week, more than 2,000 MoveOn members flooded the offices of Joe
Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, and corporate House Democrats with calls
demanding that they get on board with President Biden's Build Back Better
Agenda, while also calling progressive members of Congress to fortify them
in their resolve to hold the line.
We're also producing a series of hard-hitting videos ratcheting up support
for the important provisions in the Build Back Better Agenda, including
citizenship for Dreamers and essential workers, taxing the ultra-wealthy,
combating the climate crisis, and more.
But that's not all. We also worked with allies to launch a bird-dogging
campaign, where we track down and ask corporate Democrats in Congress
whether they side with corporations or the people. And the interaction is
all caught on camera for their constituents to see.
It's this kind of hard-hitting, shoe leather campaigning and organizing
that is going to ensure we pass the critical Build Back Better Agenda.
This legislation is important for everyone but especially for women,
people of color, immigrants, and low-income workers.
But while the corporate Democrats have wealthy executives bankrolling
them, MoveOn doesn't take a dime from corporate PACs. We count on support
from you, our members, to pay for staff on-the-ground at these rallies,
for videos and ads, for signs and banners, and for the technology and
infrastructure to support it all.
[ [link removed] ]As these critical negotiations reach their most important moment, will
you rush a $3 donation today to ensure we have the
resources necessary to stand up to the corporate Democrats and pass the
boldest legislation in decades?
Thanks for all you do.
