President Biden stood alongside Democrats and Republicans on Monday as he signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal into law. This law is a big deal!
It makes the largest investment in passenger rail in 50 years, modernizes our ports, and replaces worn-down bridges and roads all over the country. Children will be able to turn on the faucet and drink from lead-free pipes -- and families will be able to access affordable high-speed internet no matter where they live. All while creating good-paying jobs and not raising taxes a single cent for anyone making under $400,000 a year.
President Biden ran on rebuilding the backbone of this nation -- working people and the middle class. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law delivers on that promise. Read on for more important updates about the Biden-Harris agenda and the Democratic Party →

Recap: Tribal Nations Summit
This week, President Biden hosted the first Tribal Nations Summit since 2016, bringing together Tribal leaders and administration officials to discuss issues important to Indian Country. President Biden announced steps to improve public safety and justice for Native Americans and protect Tribal lands, treaty rights, and sacred places. This includes:
- Launching a new initiative to preserve, protect, and promote the rights and freedom of Native Americans to use, practice, and develop Native languages.
- Improving federal stewardship of public lands, waters, and wildlife through the Tribal Homelands Initiative, which will strengthen the role of Tribal communities in land management.
- Increasing the protection of and access to Indigenous sacred sites by collaborating with Tribes and incorporating Traditional Ecological Knowledge into management, treatment, and protection procedures.
Protecting the vote & the Democrats’ Official Store
The right to vote is under threat across the country. This year alone, we’ve seen at least 19 states enact 33 anti-voter laws. Our party has already committed over $25 million to protecting the right to vote, but Democrats nationwide need your support as they take on these Republican-sponsored attacks. Every purchase will help protect access to the ballot box and elect Democrats nationwide who are committed to defending the right to vote.

Gearing up for 2022
President Biden’s agenda is working. Retail sales are up 16%. Restaurant and bar sales are up over 29%. And as of this week, the U.S. is the only G-7 nation to have higher GDP now than before the pandemic.
We are making strides, but in order to continue building on this progress, we need to make sure our party is strong enough to defend our majorities in next year’s midterm elections.
Please consider chipping in $25 to the DNC -- the only party organization tasked with supporting Democrats in every ZIP code at every level of government. Any amount you contribute will help elect Democrats nationwide.
