Today’s Action: Tell the Senate to pass the Inflation Reduction Act!
Senators Joe Manchin and Chuck Schumer sent shockwaves through Washington when they announced their historic climate and social investment deal, dubbed the "Inflation Reduction Act." It contains the largest climate package in US history, $369 billion, and staves off what would be a disastrous health insurance premium hike by canceling the scheduled expiration of COVID-era ACA subsidies.
Passing this bill and delivering a surprise win for President Biden would be a huge boost for Democrats right before the pivotal midterm elections. But far more importantly, it would be a huge win for the the American people and our planet. But if even one expected YES vote becomes a NO, the bill fails.
That’s why we need to ensure all our senators will support the package during this week’s vote. The IRA is projected to reduce American emissions by 40% — 1 billion tons of carbon — bring in $729 billion in new revenue, reduce the deficit, lower prescription drug prices, and extend Affordable Care Act subsidies through 2024 — all without raising taxes on working Americans.
There is zero reason this bill should not be signed into law as soon as possible. The future of our planet and possibly our democracy could be at stake.
Call (202.224.3121) or email your senators and demand they pass the historic Inflation Reduction Act!
