John -- It’s not your imagination. From rent to groceries to unplanned medical bills, the cost of survival is going through the roof -- and working people are being squeezed the hardest. We were already struggling before the pandemic, but conservative Democrats keep pushing for more cuts to programs meant to help regular people. In the latest round of “compromises” to the Build Back Better plan, they’ve stripped out free community college, eliminated the child tax credit after 1 year, and gutted home health care. John, $3.5 trillion was already the compromise. I don’t know if Joe Manchin doesn’t get it, or he just doesn’t care. But I do know we can’t continue this way. We urgently need to elect more progressives who have lived with the struggles working families are facing today and will fight for us. Brand New Congress has 20 progressives on the ballot this year, including Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick whose special election is happening right now in FL-20. We have even more announcements coming soon. Can you pitch in $22 (or whatever you can spare) to help us get these progressive fighters elected?

If Sheila wins this special election primary on November 2nd, she could be sworn in to Congress as early as January! Adrienne Bell
