John,

Democrats met on Capitol Hill and at the White House yesterday and may be closing in on a final Build Back Better deal. But many of our key priorities remain in doubt.

Together, we’ve directed hundreds of thousands of letters to Congress and made phone calls, demanding Congress go BIG and BOLD.

Today, CHN and our allies are hosting a vigil in support of our key priorities. Click here to watch a livestream of the Faith in Public Life Action, which runs until 7pm ET tonight.

We are calling for swift passage on a comprehensive bill that invests in our families, communities and futures. We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to prioritize people of color, working families, and immigrants, and lift millions of children out of poverty. And make no mistake―we cannot “Build Back Better” for all of us without lifting up those who have for decades been left behind. Our future depends on it.

Today’s vigil with faith leaders features powerful stories and reflection on people and communities most in need.

The vigil focuses on the critical needs of hunger, housing, immigration, climate, paid leave, healthcare, and more.

John, it’s up to our national grassroots coalition to make sure the Build Back Better investment agenda passes. Can you take a moment to send a letter to Congress to demand they make these historic investments in our people and country?

Thank you for all you do to demand accountability from our political leaders and to fight for the needs of the vulnerable, the sick and the poor.
