Here’s what’s happening, John:
For the past several months: Members of Congress have been debating back and forth what investments we should make to deliver on the promises Democrats made in the last election to lift up our communities.
Then this week: Joe Biden officially signed the bipartisan infrastructure package into law. This will invest billions of dollars into our roads, highways, public transportation, drinking water, and clean energy infrastructure.
But we’re not pausing our work to celebrate just yet, John. There is still so much work to be done to address the unprecedented crises working families in our country currently face.
That’s why today we’re renewing Cori’s promise to continue working toward passing the Build Back Better Act. Cori knows that the bipartisan infrastructure package alone does not address the most pressing crises we face. That's why she voted against it, to maintain leverage and ensure that she delivers on her promise: to do the most for all of us, starting with those who have the least.
From paid leave, affordable housing, universal childcare, and tuition-free college — Cori believes that these policies must not be left behind in our work to truly make a real, meaningful impact on the lives of Americans.
It’s time to push for solutions that match the historic, urgent crises working people face right now.
Cori and her progressive colleagues refuse to settle for anything less in the Build Better Act than the policies we promised the American people. Here in St. Louis we know that ‘settling’ is the reason why our communities have been struggling for years. It’s why families are struggling to keep their homes, children are going to bed hungry, and why folks are going bankrupt because they can’t afford their health care bills.
Cori is holding the line, but we're up against Big Pharma, the fossil fuel industry, and corporations with millions at their disposal. This movement is 100% people-powered which means we rely on gifts of $5, $10, and $25 to fund Cori's transformative change-making and leadership, so we need to ask:
Together,
Team Cori
