In a few moments, we’re going to ask you to chip in any amount toward Pramila’s continued fight in Congress for the Build Back Better Act that makes long-overdue investments in working people, families, and our communities. But before we do, we wanted to highlight what the Huffington Post just said about Pramila and the power of our progressive movement:
“Last week, something unusual happened: The Congressional Progressive Caucus won a clear, if temporary, victory against the more conservative members of the House Democratic Caucus.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) conceded to pressure from the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) on Sept. 30 when she delayed a promised vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill favored by conservative Democrats.
The House’s 96-person progressive bloc, once dismissed as too large and ideologically inchoate to wield real power, had made clear that it had the votes to tank the infrastructure bill, pending firmer guarantees about the passage of the more progressive Build Back Better budget reconciliation package.”
Pramila first ran for office because she didn’t see enough leaders prioritizing the issues that impacted her community the most — the debilitating cost of health care, a lack of safe and affordable housing, our inhumane immigration system, a failure to support workers and their families, a lack of urgently needed climate action, and the systemic racism that compounds all of these issues.
And together, we built a people-first movement to send her to Congress — backed by small-dollar contributions from supporters just like you, not the corporate interests who already wield far too much power on Capitol Hill. We did so because we knew Pramila would meet any challenge with the kind of compassionate, people-first leadership her district — and the entire country — deserves. And now, we have a real champion fighting for us in the halls of Congress.
If you’re still with Pramila in the fight for progressive change that lifts up working people and our communities, can you chip in $3 or any amount right now to fuel her push for President Biden’s Build Back Better Act? Every dollar puts our movement in a stronger position for the make-or-break work ahead:
