Tell Your Representative the Time is NOW to Vote to Build Back Better

From the Coalition on Human Needs (http://www.chn.org):

The next few days are incredibly consequential to the fate of our Build Back Better investment agenda.

The House of Representatives is planning a vote on President Biden’s Build Back Better plan—and we need to get a majority to vote “YES.” That’s why we’re joining with grassroots allies across the country to make sure every member of Congress truly understands how important this vote is.

Pick up the phone right now and call your U.S. representative with help at https://americansfortaxfairness.org/call-house-bbb/. Urge her/him to invest in the full ten-year Build Back Better Act―paid for by finally making the rich and corporations pay their fair share. Click here to call your representative or dial 1-888-516-5820! Alternatively, you can call directly–find contact information at http://www.house.gov.

Tell your rep that the Build Back Better Act is our opportunity to:

• make the boldest investments in people and communities since the New Deal
• create millions of good-paying jobs
• make healthcare, education, childcare, and housing more affordable
• reduce childhood poverty through a permanent expansion of the Child Tax Credit
• invest in paid family and medical leave
• make home- and community-based care accessible to the aging and people with disabilities
• address the climate crisis
• and so much more!

We need to remind Congress that we can pay for these essential investments, which will lift up tens of millions of people, when the rich and corporations finally start paying their fair share in taxes.

This is not a radical idea: 69% of Americans believe the wealthy and corporations should pay more of their fair share in taxes.¹ And passing the Build Back Better agenda only gets more popular with voters when they are informed that it’s paid for by fairer taxes on those at the top.

CHN is joining these critical national days of action, demanding Congress make a meaningful investment in our people and communities. Click here to call your U.S. representative and demand they raise the full $3.5 trillion from the rich and corporations and support President Biden’s Build Back Better plan.

A vote is expected any day in the House of Representatives. We need to keep fighting to demand Congress listen to the American people, and pass this essential investment agenda.

Thank you for all you do to demand accountability from our political leaders and to fight for the needs of working families, the vulnerable, the sick and the poor.
