John, after more
than a year of negotiations, I am thrilled that Senate Democrats passed a
bill containing major parts of the Build Back Better agenda.

The Inflation Reduction Act is the country’s biggest investment in
fighting climate change ever. $369 billion will go towards clean energy
technology and reducing carbon emissions by 40% by 2030. The bill will
lower energy costs and provide subsidies to folks for electric vehicles
and renewable energy home updates.

We also empower Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices, which will
lower Rx costs. We extend critical subsidies for millions of folks with
health insurance through the Affordable Care Act. And we begin to ensure
that the wealthiest Americans and the biggest corporations pay their fair
share of taxes.

We would not have won the progressive policies in the bill without our
hard work advocating for the people. The Congressional Progressive Caucus
has been a key part of the push for this bill, and our work is paying off.
Progressives in Congress and in the movement held the line and demanded
action on these priorities. Even up against the GOP, Big Pharma, and
corporate lobbyists, we kept fighting.

Now, we need to pass this bill in the House. And, as Chair of the
Congressional Progressive Caucus, I will continue my fight to secure these
wins for the people.

chip in $3 to fuel my advocacy for this historic bill? We
have a chance to bring home major wins for the people on climate, health
care, and taxing the rich.

This is another major step towards using our Democratic majorities and
President Biden in the White House to deliver for the people. We did it
with the American Rescue Plan and infrastructure spending, and we can do
it again with the Inflation Reduction Act.

Not every one of our policies made it into this bill, which means I won’t
only be fighting to pass this bill, but I’ll be working to strengthen our
majority in Congress so we have two more years of legislating for
progressive change.

I will keep you updated as we work towards passing this historic piece of
legislation through the House.

In solidarity,

Pramila
