These were huge wins for working families, immigrants, and economic justice.
Since Pramila and the Congressional Progressive Caucus called on the White House to pass a slew of executive actions, President Biden has enacted five of them.
These were huge wins for working families, immigrants, and economic justice. And it shows just how effective we can be when we advocate for smart policies that deliver for the people.
Before we tell you a little bit more about these wins and the fight ahead, can you chip in $3 to fuel Pramila’s advocacy? There’s so much more work to do, and we can only do it with your support.

Over the last month President Biden has closed a loophole in the Affordable Care Act to make health insurance more affordable for more Americans, lifted Trump’s Title 42 policy that had illegally barred asylum seekers from entering the U.S., implemented an SEC rule requiring corporations to disclose information about their exposure to climate-related risks, enacted steps to protect Medicare from profiteers, and extended the federal student loan debt repayment pause.
It’s great to see the White House take these actions. But we know we have plenty more to work towards. If President Biden takes more of the actions we’re recommending, here are just some of the positive outcomes we'll see:
- 43 million borrowers will be relieved of the heavy burden of student loan debt
- 38 million people will pay less money for their prescription drugs
- Millions of workers will get a raise after we increase the overtime eligibility threshold
- Millions of workers will get paid sick leave and vacation time
- Reducing mass incarceration and stopping the expansion of private prisons for immigrant detention
- Closing loopholes to make sure Wall Street is paying their fair share of taxes
- Investments in clean energy, clean air, and clean water to save lives and our planet
There is so much we can do right now to help families struggling to pay their bills and crises that threaten our communities and our planet.
Help fuel Pramila’s work to make these additional executive actions a reality with a contribution today. We can only do this with all of your support — and together, we WILL deliver for the people! Can you chip in?
In solidarity,
Team Jayapal
