John,
Make the rich pay their fair share!
We’re on the verge of a major victory. But Wall Street and corporate lobbyists know that until a Build Back Better bill passes, it’s far from guaranteed. They are still working behind the scenes to kill the historic investment agenda contained in this legislation.
Check out Frank’s email below about how, together, we’ve made taxing the rich a political winner and central to the Democratic agenda. Then pitch in to keep fighting and get Build Back Better across the finish line.
Thank you for fighting to unrig our tax system and invest in our future.

John,
We are on the verge of a once-in-a-generation shift in our country’s priorities. But Democrats are under immense pressure from Wall Street, Big Pharma and Big Oil to maintain an unjust status quo that enriches millionaires and billionaires at our expense. They want to kill the Build Back Better investment legislation, which, if passed, would be 100% paid for by making the rich and corporations pay their fair share. Just look at this Washington Post headline:
Together, our national movement has made “taxing the rich a political winner.” Now we need to finish the job!
Chip in today to keep the pressure on Congress to go BIG and BOLD and fully pay for Build Back Better investments by making the rich and corporations pay their fair share.
For years, Democrats hesitated to make taxing the rich a central part of their political or legislative agenda. But, together, we’ve changed that―first by making the Trump-GOP tax scam politically toxic; second by consistently reminding the American people that when the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share, we can make long-overdue investments in our future.
You’ve made that happen. Now we’re demanding a vote.
Donate today to demand Congress vote this week to invest in our future―completely paid for by making the rich and corporations pay their fair share. Small businesses and anyone making less than $400,000 a year won’t pay a penny more.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately:
We’re so close. Let’s demand Congress act!
