MCV and our partners across Maine have been working for months to pass the Build Back Better Act because it will transform our society — from historic climate action and paid family leave, to affordable childcare and healthcare.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
This Saturday, we’re all coming together to call on Congressman Golden to support this once-in-a-generation investment before the House takes its first vote. We anticipated a vote last week, but Rep. Golden and others initiated a delay. Thank you to the dozens of Mainers who called Rep. Golden’s offices to urge him to support the Build Back Better Act last week — your advocacy makes all the difference.                                                                  
Now, we invite you to join us to help show Congressman Golden just how deep the support is for these measures that are urgently needed in Maine communities, and to finally get this bill across the finish line.
