It’s time for corporations and the ultra-wealthy to pay their fair share.

  Friends, when Ilhan and her progressive House colleagues held the line last week to make sure the Build Back Better Act moves forward, they saved President Biden’s agenda. Despite the efforts of corporate lobbyists, Republicans, and a small group of conservative Democrats to st…

We held the line

  Last night, progressives held the line — saving the president’s agenda and delaying the House vote on the infrastructure bill until we deliver on our promises to the American people with the Build Back Better Act. In a moment, I’ll explain why this decision was so important — b…

re: Joe Manchin

  Team, Ilhan and her fellow progressives are unapologetically fighting for bold, necessary change to support workers and families through the pandemic and build a better future that leaves no one behind. Meanwhile, Joe Manchin refuses to support the Build Back Better Act as is, …

Here’s the deal

  Here's the deal, friends: I’m fighting for the Build Back Better agenda because my job as a Congresswoman is to turn your calls for bold, lasting change into legislation that transforms lives and livelihoods for the better. What my job is not, is to put the interests of corpora…

I will put my vote on the line

  Millions of people ready for bold, transformative change helped elect Democratic majorities to Congress and the White House. We promised we’d deliver on that change, and we have the opportunity to fulfill that promise right now. Democrats have brought forward the Build Back Bet…

$15.20

  $15.20. That’s our average contribution this quarter — a people-powered number we’re proud to share with you, team. Of course, that doesn’t mean everyone donates that exact amount. Some people give $5, others give $50, and so on. But what an average contribution like $15.20 sho…

re: special interests

  Team, from the beginning, our movement has been about far more than one candidate or election. We have always fought to carry out bold, progressive change that will not only make life better for workers and families in the moment we’re in — but for future generations, too. That…

speechless

  Friends, Last weekend, far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene attacked me yet again — giving a platform to xenophobic conspiracy theories, name calling, and threatening to “investigate and remove” me from Congress. This all started when I called her out for her disturbing campai…

Add your name to support the Build Back Better Act

  Team — Ilhan has been hard at work in Congress to pass a Build Back Better Act that meets the moment we’re in. She promised to deliver big, bold solutions, and one major result is an amendment that just passed the Education and Labor committee. Here’s what it will do: Feed mor…

  We’re reaching out one last time before tonight’s mid-month deadline, team: If even just 1 in 3 people reading this email chip in before midnight, we’ll blow right past our 1,500 contribution goal. This isn’t an arbitrary goal, either. Each and every donation is instrumental in…

update

We have a problem

  Team, we have a problem: Earlier this week, we set a crucial goal of bringing in 1,000 contributions before the end of the month. At first, we saw a huge amount of enthusiasm. But now, donations are slowing down at the exact moment we need them to speed up. We mean it when we s…
