John,

House progressives are under immense pressure to vote for the bipartisan infrastructure bill before the Build Back Better legislation—even as we continue to wait for firm commitments from two Senate holdouts on the historic investment package.

Progressives need to know that as they hold the line—demanding a vote on both bills at the same time—we have their backs. That’s why, since Friday, we’ve sent more than 30,000 messages to members of Congress encouraging them to hold the line.

Can you pitch in $5 to keep the pressure on the House to hold the line and vote on infrastructure and Build Back Better at the same time? If the House votes on infrastructure first, we will lose the leverage we need to pass once-in-a-generation investments in our families and our future.

The Build Back Better plan will secure critically important investments in working families, marginalized people, the aging, and our entire country.

It will give tens of millions of people, who have been falling through the cracks, an opportunity to ensure their families can eat healthy foods, get the education they need, find a career, and secure the health care and support they need to live a healthy life.

But, we are at risk of losing our leverage and everything we’ve fought for in Build Back Better if Congress votes on the bipartisan infrastructure bill first.

Can you rush a contribution today to demand legislative language and a firm commitment from 50 senators that they will vote for the Build Back Better investment package? Then, Congress should vote on both infrastructure and Build Back Better together.

The historic Build Back Better legislation, which is paid for by finally asking the rich and corporations to pay more in taxes, will help all of us. And it is especially important because it provides a once-in-a-generation opportunity to prioritize people of color, working families, and immigrants, and lift millions of children out of poverty.

Thank you for all that you do to show our champions in Congress, when they fight for us, we have their backs.
