John -
This is an emergency call to Washington DC for all of us who are opposed to Congress cutting life-saving, planet-saving, democracy-saving legislation and compromising on the backs of poor people, immigrants, people of color and the environment.
Right now decisions are being made in DC that will impact all of our lives – where our representatives land on the Build Back Better plan, voting rights, health care, climate change, and immigrant rights will fundamentally shift the trajectory of this nation, either towards a more just democracy for all or towards an increasing oligarchy for the few.
Those in or near DC can meet us directly at the Supreme Court at 10:30am ET. We also have *free buses* traveling from West Virginia, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and North Carolina.
We the people - poor people, low-wage workers, essential workers, people of faith, and moral advocates - are tired of being pawns in a political game that hurts us while greedy and corrupt corporations enrich themselves off our poverty.
We can’t afford to compromise. We can’t afford half of a democracy. We need to stop asking “How much does a bold Build Back Better agenda cost?” and instead ask, “How much does it cost not to Build Back Better?”
Following the rally some of us will join CASA, the Center for Popular Democracy and others for their March and Rally on Congress!
Join us in Washington DC to be a moral witness to the nation we can become if we stand together, fight together, pray together, march together and go Forward Together, Not One Step Back!
