Friends, the progressive movement secured a victory today — paid family and medical leave are back in the House’s Build Back Better Actafter corporate Democrats tried to slash this critical policy.
Progressives in Congress and countless activists organized to make sure this important investment in workers and families happens — and our work isn’t over yet. We’re still fighting to make lower prescription drug prices, Medicare expansion, and more become a reality.
But conservative lawmakers backed by Big Pharma and other corporations have shown they won’t allow progress that threatens their donors’ profits without a fight.
Every day Democrats get closer to delivering a bold, progressive agenda that transforms lives and livelihoods. That was our promise to the American people, and I’ll fight like hell to keep it.
