Senator Joe Manchin went on Fox News this morning to announce that he would vote AGAINST the Build Back Better Act.
The people delivered Democrats the House, the Senate, and the White House to push forward bold, progressive legislation to finally center people and working families.
We cannot allow one Senator from West Virginia to obstruct the President’s agenda — to obstruct the people’s agenda. The cost is too high, and our most vulnerable communities will pay the price.
Joe Manchin said Build Back Better is a “mammoth bill.” He’s right — it’s a mammoth bill to address mammoth hurt. Our families and communities have been in crisis — from generations of underinvestment, policy violence, and an ongoing pandemic.
As policymakers, it is our duty to respond with urgency and deliver policies that will have a meaningful and tangible impact on people’s lives. We cannot cede to a Senator who has never negotiated in good faith, and who has refused to put the health and well-being of our communities ahead of special interests.
That’s why I held the line to pass the Build Back Better Act, and now we must use the full weight of our movement to advance urgent, life-saving legislation — this fight is not over.
I won’t stop fighting to advance this critical legislation that is responsive to the needs and demands of the people. Our communities have waited far too long, and the people deserve nothing less.
In solidarity,
Ayanna
