[1]Bowman for Congress

Hey John, it’s
Jamaal.

I wanted to take a moment to share my thoughts on why we must pass the
Build Back Better Act.

Before I came to Congress, I spent 20 years as an educator working with
children and families — particularly those who came from neglected and
poverty-stricken communities. I've seen firsthand just how necessary and
urgent federal and social resources are needed in these communities.

Which is why, in the wake of what could be one of the most influential
infrastructure votes of our generation, I'm often struck with so much
confusion, John.

I simply cannot understand how my moderate colleagues want to scale down
the Build Back Better Act by compromising on key issues like child care,
paid leave, and Medicare expansion, along with so much more.

The majority of Americans — many of whom are constituents of these
moderate representatives — are ready to make these big investments in our
economy. The majority of Democrats in Congress are too. And if we are able
to use our time in Congress effectively, we can finally start investing
our funds into resources that make our lives better instead of staying
stagnant. But there are a few people who are holding us back.

Many of my colleagues are wealthy, white, and have not encountered the
same instances of violence and loss that are directly connected to poverty
and trauma as a result of bad policy.

And John, we
will continue to negotiate bad policy if we don't go big on social,
climate, and infrastructure issues while we still have the chance.

Enough. I am tired of watching our government systems leave behind Black
and Latino people, women, immigrants, seniors, kids, and poor people
behind in the name of "compromise".

We need to solve the climate issue, we need to prioritize care in our
economy, and we need to ensure that every American has a chance to thrive.
The Build Back Better Act is a clear step in the right direction of
uplifting and supporting all of us, not just the privileged few.
