One year ago this month, NewDems led the charge to pass President Biden’s American Rescue Plan in Congress – putting checks in your bank accounts, slashing unemployment rates, giving parents expanded Child Tax Credit payments, and so much more.

Today, the numbers speak to just how big of an impact this bill has had on helping our country recover from the COVID-19 pandemic:

The American Rescue Plan

Created 7.4 million new jobs
Slashed unemployment down to 3.9%
Put 500 million COVID-19 vaccine shots in arms
Has allowed 99% of schools to safely reopen
Lowered child poverty by 40% with the expanded Child Tax Credit

Shots in arms. Money in pockets. Americans to work. Kids in schools. ALL of this is possible because of our work to get the American Rescue Plan across the finish line.

But we cannot forget: Not a SINGLE Republican voted to pass this bill. While they wanted to play politics with our pandemic recovery, we took charge and passed this desperately-needed relief. Can you contribute $5 or more to defend our Democratic Majority and ensure that NewDems facing tough reelection challenges win their races and continue delivering on President Biden’s Agenda?

But now, one year after this landmark legislation became law, some of the key provisions have been allowed to expire by Republicans in DC who are seeking to block President Biden’s agenda. The expansion of the Child Tax Credit that we fought so hard to secure is one of those measures – and its expiration at the end of last year has already caused child poverty to spike 40% in 2022.

The passage of the American Rescue Plan was a historic achievement. It brought relief to millions of Americans suffering the economic hardship of the pandemic. But we cannot allow the gains we made to slip away. Can we count on you to donate $5 or more to defend our Democratic Majority and continue making progress for the American people in Congress?

Thank you,

NewDems
