Friends, when Ilhan and her progressive House colleagues held the line last week to make sure the Build Back Better Act moves forward, they saved President Biden’s agenda.

Despite the efforts of corporate lobbyists, Republicans, and a small group of conservative Democrats to stop this once-in-a-generation bill in its tracks, progressives acted in the best interest of the American people. Now, we’re one step closer to passing an agenda that prioritizes the needs of workers, families, children, and the elderly — not big corporations and the ultra-wealthy.

Grassroots donations like yours help make this people-work first possible. Will you chip in any amount to power Ilhan’s work for progress and fight back against the corporate lobbyists trying to get in our way?

The Build Back Better Act is exactly the kind of legislation that so many of the people who elected a Democratic majority have been waiting for. Here’s how it will transform lives and livelihoods:

• Expanding Medicare to cover dental, vision, and hearing aids, and expanding home healthcare to take care of our elderly and disabled communities
• Lowering astronomical prescription drug costs so folks don’t go without the life-saving medications they need
• Making pre-K universal and community college free to make sure cost isn’t a barrier to getting an education
• Greenlighting millions of low-income and affordable housing units to address the affordable housing crisis
• Transitioning from fossil fuels to green energy to combat the global emergency that is climate change

And the best news of all? Corporations and the ultra-wealthy can foot the bill by finally paying their fair share in taxes.

But corporate lobbyists are still working around the clock — spending millions of dollars to block this legislation. On top of that, a handful of conservative Democrats are essentially doing their bidding — trying to weaken it by removing the wealth and corporate tax and the prescription drug cost provision, and adding means testing to crucial programs for children and families.

Ilhan will combat these bad-faith efforts every step of the way, but she’s counting on this grassroots team to fight back and support her work for progress. Please chip in any amount to fuel the fight for bold, transformative change:
