For far too long, working people have faced a rigged system that favored the wealthy and special interests. But for the past couple of years, under the leadership of the Biden administration and this Congress, things are starting to turn around.
We must protect the victories we have achieved in the past two years by electing and reelecting leaders who stand with working families.
They include:
- The American Rescue Plan Act, which brought the economy back from the brink and put money directly in the pockets of working families;
- The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which is creating good union jobs while helping communities across the country upgrade their critical infrastructure;
- The Inflation Reduction Act, which will lower costs for everyone, including the high costs of prescription drugs, and will make unprecedented investments in the fight against climate change;
- And President Joe Biden’s student debt relief plan, which will help up to 43 million borrowers lower the balances of their student loans, including 20 million who will see their entire loan balances canceled.
We made these victories happen. How? By electing leaders who stand with working families.
Although things are getting better, nothing guarantees that they will continue to improve. Anti-worker forces are threatening to roll back this progress and even threatening access to the ballot box.
The stakes are high for working families in the midterm elections, which are fewer than two months away. To protect the victories we have achieved, we must cast our votes.
