Today’s Action: Pass the Build Back Better Act!
House Democrats kept their promise to fight for working class families and delay the bipartisan infrastructure bill until the Build Back Better Act passes. Now, Senator Schumer says his goal is to get the social spending bill and infrastructure package passed by the end of October — but with moderate Democrats continuously pushing a watered-down version of the $3.5 trillion plan, the stalemate could last longer than the American people can wait.
The Build Back Better Act promises significant investments in childcare, paid family and medical leave, expanded Medicare and Medicaid, and universal pre-k education, as well as a permanent child tax credit which has already cut childhood poverty in half across the country. On top of that, it could turn the United States into a global force for cleaner energy and real emissions reduction.
Call (202-224-3121) or write your representative in the House and tell them the Build Back Better Act can’t wait, and remind them that the infrastructure package must be delayed until the full reconciliation bill is passed!
With the threat of yet another government shutdown looming, the clock is ticking to pass Democrats’ sweeping social infrastructure bill. The Build Back Better Act is our elected officials’ opportunity to help millions of working families across the country, and we need to flood their inboxes to make sure they seize the moment.
The benefits of the legislation cannot be overstated.
Call (202-224-3121) or write your representative to remind them America’s future depends on their commitment to the passage of the Build Back Better Act! Then sign this petition with over 10,000 signatures signaling your support.
PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition telling Facebook to stop spreading right wing hate and disinformation, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
