Friend,
The first item that Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal shared on social media today, following a high-stakes meeting between President Joe Biden and the Democratic caucus on Capitol Hill, was Common Dreams’ reporting from yesterday:
Jayapal, the Congressional Progressive Caucus chairperson, posted a piece by Senior Editor Andrea Germanos, with the headline "House Progressives: 'When We Said These Two Bills Go Together, We Meant It'."
As the fight over the party’s signature Build Back Better legislation reaches a boiling point, our reporters are working tirelessly to raise up progressive voices both inside and outside of Congress that are demanding that working people, struggling families, and planet Earth itself are not cut out of the deal that has been hammered—nearly to death—by corporate interests and wealthy elites.
Jayapal then minutes later shared a second piece by Common Dreams. In that article, staff reporter Brett Wilkins detailed the determination by caucus members and outside advocates to “hold the line” against the corporate onslaught aimed at the bill’s most far-reaching provisions.
We know our work matters, but we also know that this kind of journalism—not watered down or captured by corporate interests—is only possible because it is funded by readers like you who understand its unique value and independence. We can't do it without you.
If you value our hard work, please chip in today to help us carry on our vital mission. Time is running short in our crucial Fall Campaign, but with your support—no matter how large or small your donation—we vow to be here tomorrow to continue this hard-hitting coverage.
