Team -- 2021 is coming to a close, and as we take this time to look back at the past year, we should be proud of all that Democrats have accomplished.
From delivering relief through the American Rescue Plan to recently passing the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Democrats have been working for the people since the very start. Now, Congress is taking up President Biden’s Build Back Better Act -- which addresses the kitchen table issues that will impact families the most like:
📉 Lowering the costs of prescription drugs, health care, and housing
❤️ Providing child care and care for seniors so that workers can get back on the job knowing their loved ones are in good hands
💵 Cutting taxes for working families and the middle class -- including extending the Child Tax Credit
📚 Making education beyond high school more affordable and providing universal pre-Kindergarten for every 3-and 4-year old in America
We’ve made tremendous progress, but our fight to build back better is far from over. Read on for more updates about the Biden-Harris administration and the Democratic Party →
Broadband: Helping Small Businesses Build Back Better
Access to reliable and affordable high-speed internet is vital to America’s success -- especially for students, folks working from home, and small business owners trying to connect with consumers.
President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law commits $65 billion to help ensure that every American has access to reliable high-speed internet. The legislation will also help lower prices for internet service and help close the digital divide so that more Americans can afford internet access.
"Small businesses aren’t just the heart and soul of America...America’s small businesses are the primary job creators." -- President Joe Biden

Spreading holiday cheer at the White House
Inspired by the small acts of kindness and experiences that lifted our spirits throughout the pandemic, rooms in the White House are decorated to reflect what unites us all: gifts from the heart.
“Like points on a star, we come together at the heart. That is what I wanted to reflect in our White House this year. In each room, we tell a story of gifts from the heart.” -- Jill Biden

Celebrate the holidays with The Democrats
Here at DNC HQ, we’re also gearing up for the holiday season. That’s why we recently released brand-new holiday items at the Official Democratic Store.
Whether you need a gift for a loved one or want to treat yourself, the store is spreading holiday cheer -- and supporting Democrats up and down the ballot with every purchase.
We’re all in this together
With only weeks left until 2022, our party is preparing for an important election year. Democrats have razor-thin majorities in Congress -- and if Republicans win just one seat in the Senate or five in the House of Representatives, all of the progress we’ve made will be at serious risk.
Folks like you have the power to make a difference in this fight, so if you’re in a position to do so, please consider chipping in $25 to the DNC today. Anything you contribute will be used to build up state parties, protect the right to vote, and support Democrats running for office nationwide -- not just in historically blue states.
