Yesterday, progressives held the line and a vote on the smaller
infrastructure bill was delayed until Senators Manchin and Sinema
committed to voting for a larger Build Back Better agenda with
$555,000,000,000 to fight climate change and hundreds of billions for
child care, universal pre-k, and taxing millionaires.

We fell short on our goal for calls to Congress. When the moment strikes
again (likely soon), we need to know what would motivate you to make a
call.

OUR REQUEST FOR CALLS TO CONGRESS:

This morning, the White House announced a "framework" for a Build Back
Better deal that contains important down payments to dire problems facing
our nation -- from climate disasters to families struggling with child
care, home care, and health care. It has tax fairness provisions and
pro-worker provisions that were unattainable just a few years ago.

But details matter, and a framework for a deal is not the same as a deal.
Progressives in Congress are being pressured to give up their leverage in
this important moment by passing the smaller infrastructure bill as soon
as today.

As has been the case for months, passing the bipartisan infrastructure
bill -- which Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema want -- without the larger
Build Back Better bill would put critical progressive priorities including
climate action, universal pre-k, and taxing the wealthy on the chopping
block and give corporate-aligned Democrats more leverage to remove them
from the final bill.

[ [link removed] ]SIGN THE PETITION: #HoldTheLine by only passing the smaller
infrastructure bill when there is agreed-upon legislative text for Build
Back Better deal and its passage is guaranteed.

And, [ [link removed] ]please call Rep. Brendan Boyle and urge
him to #HoldTheLine.

You can also tweet to Rep. Boyle here:

[ [link removed] ]Progressives in
Congress should #HoldTheLine by only passing the smaller infrastructure
bill when there is agreed-upon legislative text for #BuildBackBetter and
its passage is guaranteed. I'm urging @CongBoyle not to trade away
our leverage.

John, our progressive allies in the Congressional Progressive
Caucus (CPC) have been fighting for our values even as conservative
Democrats like Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema and Josh Gottheimer have worked
to derail progress on climate action, lowering the cost of prescription
drugs, paid family leave and universal child care, and Medicare expansion
for America's seniors.

While the CPC is now one of the largest caucuses in Congress -- it is
clear that we still need to make it even bigger. We still need more
progressives in Congress.
