Yesterday, reports surfaced that the Senate is considering delaying passage of the popular Build Back Better Act in order to focus on voting rights. This is a false choice.
Democrats control the House, Senate, and White House. Voters delivered us these majorities to solve the biggest problems in the country. We can’t pit two crises against one another, and say Democrats can only do one or the other. The Senate can and must pass both voting rights protections AND the Build Back Better Act.
The Senate has less than two weeks to pass Build Back Better, or families won’t receive their next monthly Child Tax Credit payment. That means millions of families would instantly see their income reduced by hundreds of dollars. Many would fall into poverty to begin the new year.
My message to the Senate is this: Millions of working people and families across America are depending on us. Don’t leave them behind. It’s time to deliver.
And it’s not just the Child Tax Credit that we’d lose if the Senate further delays. Build Back Better is a historic investment in fighting climate change. It’s universal pre-K, paid family and medical leave, affordable child care, and Medicare expansion. It’s an investment in affordable housing, health care, home care, and immigration reform. The Senate can’t turn its back on these urgent issues.
We are all in, continuing our urgent fight for Build Back Better AND voting rights. Can you chip in $3 towards our fight for what the people, our families, and our communities desperately need? Each donation before midnight will help us reach our mid-month 300 contribution goal.
In this fight with you all the way,
Pramila
