After months of stops and starts, Sens. Schumer and Manchin have introduced the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 to cut costs for American families. It makes prescription drugs more affordable while stopping Pharma’s price gouging. It gives middle-class families a break on healthcare premiums. It requires the biggest and most successful corporations to pay their fair share in taxes. And it creates jobs with historic public investment in manufacturing, energy security and lower energy costs for working families—all while helping address the impacts of the climate crisis.

Finally, the bill will create more fairness in the tax code—all while reducing the federal deficit and cutting inflation. Click here, and tell your senators to vote for this important bill.

This is an extraordinary accomplishment. We’ve all been at this for a while. It’s been rocky at times, and lots of times folks sounded ready to throw in the towel. But Sens. Schumer and Manchin kept plugging away to find common ground and figure out how to make things better for the American people.

There are big wins in this package for working people, families, older Americans and the planet. Now it’s time to do our part and get this package across the finish line. Click here to tell your senators to vote for the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

In unity,
