John,

We are close to passing a truly historic budget that invests in people, families and communities.

But, to do so, we need to keep the pressure on five conservative Democrats who have delayed a vote on the Build Back Better Act: Representatives Ed Case of Hawaii, Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey, Stephanie Murphy of Florida, Kathleen Rice of New York, and Kurt Schrader of Oregon.

Can you help get our message on the radio in each of their states as early as Monday? We need to let constituents of these representatives know how the Build Back Better investments will help them, their children, and their neighbors.

If you can afford it, donate $5 today to get our message on the radio in these five states: Hawaii, New Jersey, Florida, New York and Oregon.

Throughout this process, Senate Budget Chairman Bernie Sanders has described this budget as "the most consequential piece of legislation for working people, the elderly, the children, the sick and the poor since FDR and the New Deal of the 1930s."

It is up to us to fight to get the Build Back Better Act across the finish line. And we know real change happens from the ground up. That’s why we have to keep the pressure on these five conservative Democrats by working to get radio and other press coverage in their states to let their constituents know about the transformational aspects of President Biden’s investment agenda.

Our efforts are getting local advocates in the news, making clear to these members of Congress that this is our chance to fight for our future, to fight for housing needs, more home care for the aging and people with disabilities, child tax credits, nutrition, health care, child care, paid leave, justice for immigrants, and much more.

We’re reminding Congress that we can afford these investments when we finally ask corporations and the wealthy to pay their fair share.

Chip in $5 so we can get local advocates on the radio news this coming week in five targeted states so these conservative Democrats hear from their own state’s constituents that they must pass our essential Build Back Better agenda.

Thank you for all you do to demand accountability from our political leaders and to fight for the needs of working families, the vulnerable, the sick and the poor.
