As our nation marks two years since Democrats passed the American Rescue Plan, we wanted to take a moment to report back on the incredible progress that we’ve accomplished together.
President Biden and Democrats are rebuilding the middle class, the backbone of America. The American Rescue Plan helped power our economic recovery, resulting in more jobs created in the last two years than under any presidential administration's first four-year term.
Take a moment to read about how much of an impact this legislation has had -- and how it has helped build a better America.
A HISTORIC ECONOMIC RECOVERY
When we last updated you on the progress of the American Rescue Plan, the economy had produced 7.4 million new jobs -- the largest number of jobs created in a single year in American history.
Well, two years out, we’re continuing to break records. The economy has created over 12 million jobs in just two years under the leadership of President Biden and Vice President Harris. On top of that, the unemployment rate remains at historic lows and we’ve seen a record 10.5 million new small business applications. This is the kind of leadership and progress that Democrats are delivering.

LOWER HEALTH CARE COSTS AND A HISTORIC VACCINATION CAMPAIGN
The American Rescue Plan lowered health care premiums and increased eligibility to millions of lower- and middle-class families. As a result, over 13 million Americans saved an average of $800 a year on their health premiums -- leading to the most Americans in history having health insurance.
That’s not all. Thanks to the vaccination efforts supported by the American Rescue Plan, today, over 230 million Americans are fully vaccinated, up from 3.5 million when President Biden took office.

PROTECTING YOUR PENSION
Ensuring that workers and their families enjoy the retirement security they earned through a lifetime of work has been a central part of President Biden’s economic plan. The American Rescue Plan provided security for more than 200 distressed multiemployer pension plans, helping to ensure 2 to 3 million workers’ pension plans remain solvent and pay full benefits through at least 2051. That’s huge!
YOUR ROLE IN BUILDING A BETTER AMERICA
The American Rescue Plan passed without a single Republican vote. Not one.
Thankfully, President Biden and Democrats in Congress ensured this legislation passed to get our country back on track. To help our party continue electing Democrats committed to delivering for the American people, we rely on grassroots supporters like you.
If you can, chip in $25 to the DNC. When you do, you’ll know that you are one of the earliest donors to support Democrats in our fight to win nationwide in 2023, 2024, and beyond.
