John,
Last month, my House Democratic colleagues and I passed the Build Back Better Act. This transformational package creates an economy that works for everyone and takes on climate change, ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
But there’s one more hurdle for this bill to clear before President Biden can sign it into law: the Senate.
Will you sign our petition and tell the U.S. Senate to pass the Build Back Better Act so that we can deliver change for hardworking Americans across the country?
Over the last year, Americans have experienced historic economic gains thanks to policies passed and implemented by a Democratic-controlled Congress and President Biden.
The U.S. has added an average of 582,000 jobs per month in 2021 — for a total of 5.8 million new jobs this year. Wages and salaries increased 4.6% for the 12-month period ending September 2021 — increasing significantly for those who’ve historically been left behind.
Additionally, the bottom 50% of households now have more than $3 trillion in wealth — that’s up nearly 20% from early 2021, and up 55% from pre-pandemic levels. And according to Gallup polls, “a record-high 74% say now is a good time to find a quality job.”
We need continued investment to strengthen the critical programs that U.S. workers and families rely on. Sign our petition and tell the U.S. Senate to act now to pass the Build Back Better Act. >>
We can’t stop now. Thanks for standing with me, John.
— Eric
