While some Republicans in Congress have demonstrated that they’re hellbent on gutting Social Security and Medicare, President Biden has promised he will veto any legislation that cuts these programs -- and he and Vice President Harris are working to not only protect, but strengthen Social Security and Medicare and lower health care costs.

CELEBRATING BLACK HISTORY MONTH
This Black History Month, we reflect on the contributions of Black Americans to our nation, from Ida B. Wells to Martin Luther King, Jr. to Rosa Parks, and many more. We remain committed to uplifting Black voices and promoting equality, justice, and economic opportunity for all.

As we honor members of our party who have made history, like Vice President Kamala Harris, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and so many others, we hope you’ll join us in recommitting ourselves to combating injustice at its source, ensuring everyone has a seat at the table, and standing up for what is right.
REBUILDING THE ECONOMY 💪
With 12 million jobs created since the Biden-Harris team took office, 517,000 jobs added last month, and the unemployment rate at its lowest in 54 years, it’s no secret that President Biden’s plan to rebuild an economy from the bottom up and middle out is working.
Take a look at how far we’ve come:

INVESTING IN DEMOCRATS EARLY
With elections coming up in 2023, it’s crucial to keep building on the progress and party infrastructure we’ve built together. The Democratic National Committee is the only party organization that elects Democrats from the school board to the Senate and we’re relying on the early support of this grassroots team to power critical investments in voter protection, organizing, and state-of-the-art data and technology.
The generosity of this grassroots team has made an incredible difference -- thank you. Will you show your support by renewing your Official 2023 DNC Membership with a $10 donation today?
We'll talk to you next week!
Team Joe
