Indivisibles,
Good news! Last week, progressives held their ground in the House. Not
only did we have a massive show of the Congressional Progressive Caucus’
strength last week, we also made major progress towards advancing
President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda.
[1]Pass the Build Back Better Agenda Now!If you love this gif from one of
our partners, [ [link removed] ]you’ll love this gif library.
But this work isn’t done yet. The next major deadline is October 31, which
is when the current short-term authorization for transportation runs out
-- meaning we need to pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework (BIF)
before then, AND we need to pass reconciliation before BIF. This means
we’re in a key moment for advocacy as we fight to win the most progressive
reconciliation bill possible. [ [link removed] ]It is urgent that you call your
representative and tell them how important it is that we pass an inclusive
recovery bill that works for everyone.
It’s on us to continue pressing Congress to pass reconciliation through
both the House and Senate. [ [link removed] ]So, once you have called your
representative, click here to call both your senators and demand they pass
the bill immediately after the House sends it over.
While we celebrate our win in the House, let’s talk about what an
inclusive recovery package would look like:
* Lowering drug prices, expanding Medicare to cover vision, dental, and
hearing, and lowering the eligibility age to 60 years old;
* Investments in climate, including a Clean Electricity Performance
Program (with no fossil fuels!) and a Civilian Climate Corps;
* Investments in housing, especially deeply affordable housing and
housing for unhoused populations;
* Historic investments in the care economy including universal child
care, paid leave, and home and community-based care and;
* Address extreme wealth inequality by taxing the ultra-rich and big
corporations so they finally pay their fair share.
It's critically important that the House passes reconciliation alongside
the BIF in order to ensure the House passes a bill comprehensive enough to
meet this moment. With your help, we’ve been supporting their demands for
a big, inclusive recovery package--one that guarantees the investments
that our communities desperately need.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
P.S. -- [ [link removed] ]On Tuesday at 8PM ET, we hope you’ll join us for a
