Indivisibles,
Today marks a historic moment in our nation’s history. Following Sunday’s
passage in the Senate, today the House passed the Inflation Reduction Act
of 2022.
This bill represents:
🌎 The largest investment in climate action in our country’s history 🌎
💊 The ability for Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices 💊
💵 Continued savings on ACA Marketplace healthcare premiums 💵
🚙 A commitment to reduce carbon emissions 40% by 2030 🚙
…And those are just a few highlights.
Biden, Schumer, and progressive champions in Congress have achieved an
incredible victory for the American people and the world. This is the sort
of legislation that could define an era and turn the tide in the fight
against climate change. But they did not do it alone.
Our voices have power, and our elections have consequences. Without the
work of climate and healthcare activists building to this moment for
decades, we would not have achieved this landmark legislation. Without the
work of organizers to ensure that Trump was a one-term president and seat
more progressives in the House and the Senate, we would not have the votes
to ensure its passage. And without actions, calls, letters, and good
trouble from Indivisibles like you, we would not have been able to push
our representatives into such progressive policy.
Years from now, we will be able to look back on this moment as a watershed
moment in American politics where progressive policy and political power
came together to achieve momentous gains towards saving this planet and
its people.
But it is not over.
Through celebrating this achievement, we are getting a glimpse of what
progressives could do with a real Democratic majority. In the past two
months, we have achieved the first gun control legislation since the 90s,
increased investment in domestic semiconductor manufacturing (a necessity
to achieve climate goals), and now, the Inflation Reduction Act. These are
all necessary and groundbreaking pieces of legislation achieved in spite
of obstruction from MAGA Republicans.
This November, if we can hold the House and pick up two more seats in the
Senate, we have a chance at the type of real majority that would drive
this country into a progressive future we could all be proud of -- voting
rights, abortion, marriage equality, and court reforms are just a few of
the things we could immediately address for the good of the country.
In celebration of what we have achieved today, and in acknowledgement of
how much more is possible, we are setting up a phonebank so we can make
our dreams a reality.

Warnock on Monday, August 22 at 7pm ET/4pm PT. Let’s make sure that our
Give No Ground candidates have the support they need to deliver us a
trifecta in November.
[ [link removed] ]Give No Ground is not just the name of our program to hold the power to
achieve change, it is a philosophy that reminds us that we cannot continue
to cede control of this country to MAGA extremists who want to roll back
our rights solely in order to line their own pockets.
We are less than 90 days from the midterm elections. The passage of the
Inflation Reduction Act is a glimpse into the sort of impact we could have
with a truly progressive Congress. Let’s put in the work to make sure it
can happen. [ [link removed] ]Register to phonebank today.
