John,

Senator Joe Manchin is signaling that the transformative Build Back Better Act won’t even get a vote until the New Year. That’s why, all this week, we’re running digital ads throughout West Virginia, including in Joe Manchin’s hometown paper, driving messages into Manchin’s Senate office.

West Virginians are demanding an immediate vote to ensure monthly Child Tax Credit payments don’t get cut off next month.

There’s still time for the Senate to act! Can you rush a contribution today to keep our ads running in West Virginia and keep the pressure on Joe Manchin to pass the Build Back Better Act?

Since July, thanks to the American Rescue Plan passed by Democrats and signed into law by President Biden, the families of more than 60 million children have been receiving monthly checks between $250 and $300 per child. That means $550 each month for the average family of two.

For families working paycheck to paycheck, that extra money has alleviated financial pressures that have been felt since before the pandemic. It means families no longer need to choose between paying the electric bill or putting food on the table. It means a new winter jacket or an after school enrichment program. Or, it means finally being able to save for their kids’ college education. It means giving millions of families a chance to breathe.

Let’s keep the pressure on Joe Manchin and continue driving messages into his Senate office. Pitch in $5 or more today to keep our digital ads running throughout West Virginia and demand a vote on the Build Back Better Act.

Whether it’s the Child Tax Credit or Earned Income Tax Credit, which are reaching more people than ever before, lowering the cost of prescription drugs for millions of Americans, lowering the costs of housing, health care premiums, childcare and more, it’s time to invest in working families’ futures―paid for by making the rich and corporations finally pay their fair share.

Thank you for all that you do to create a future that includes all of us.
