John,

All weekend, senators will debate the Inflation Reduction Act and offer amendments to weaken or strengthen the bill.

This bill is not finalized until it lands on President Biden’s desk!

Write to your senators right now and urge them to vote YES on the Inflation Reduction Act, to resist amendments that weaken the bill, and use this weekend as a chance to further strengthen the bill for low-income and working people.

We’re in the homestretch. Our senators need to hear from us right now!

Thank you for taking action today.

John,

News broke late last night that Senator Kyrsten Sinema has gotten on board with Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act. Critical investments in combating the climate crisis as well as lowering prescription drug prices and extending health care subsidies for 13 million Americans remain in the bill.

Now, as the Senate prepares to debate the bill, we’re combating bad amendments, such as anti-immigrant amendments and proposals to give corporations even more tax breaks. And we’re reminding senators that there’s still an opportunity to strengthen the bill by closing the Medicaid coverage gap, which leaves 2 million poor people uninsured, address the child care crisis for working families, and address maternal mortality rates, which are climbing and disproportionately impact Black and Latina women.

We’re not there yet. Let’s keep fighting!

Send a message to your senators right now to vote YES on the Inflation Reduction Act, and to use this weekend’s debate and vote-a-rama as an opportunity to strengthen the bill.

We’ve been fighting for 18 months on a bill that invests in our future and is paid for by unrigging our tax system and economy. While this bill is not perfect, and leaves out many of our top priorities, such as housing, child care, home care, and the Child Tax Credit, it represents critical progress in combating the climate crisis and making health care more affordable for millions of working people and older Americans.

Write to your senators right now and urge them to pass the Inflation Reduction Act and to use this weekend as an opportunity to further strengthen the bill.

Thank you for never giving up.
