Dear John,

Members of Congress are home this week and we need to make them hear our demands for economic investment in the people and for protecting our democracy from nationwide attacks on voting rights.

We’re meeting senators back at their home offices today for a Moral Witness Wednesday - click here to see if there’s an action near you and to tune-in to live rallies across the nation. We’re asking everyone to call their members of Congress to demand they pass the Build Back Better agenda without any further cuts, and to pass voting protections NOW!

And then there is an all-call to Washington, DC on Monday, November 15 for a Moral Monday: Build Back Better from the Bottom Up!

While members of Congress are home this week and when they come back to DC next week, we need to be there in numbers to demand the Senate and House #HoldtheLine on the key provisions.

The BBB is not THE solution, but is an important step, in a series of steps, to invest in the lives and livelihoods of the people – especially the 140 million people living poor and with low incomes in this nation. This is our final shot to make sure all of the lifesaving elements and programs are included in the plan:

6 million 3- & 4 year-olds will benefit from universal pre-K
4 million people get health insurance by expanding Medicaid
Extends Child Tax Credit for millions of parents
$250 million saved by giving government power to negotiate drug prices
4-week paid family and medical leave

This week the West Virginia Poor People's Campaign hosted the national co-chairs and economist Dr. Jeffrey Sachs for a powerful community forum on the impact of their senators' actions on the state. Watch below as they read the letter sent to President Biden demanding he meet with them and other poor and low-income people, and then sign onto the letter and share in your networks.
