Call Sen. Cardin and Sen. Van Hollen : Pass the Build Back Better Act now!

House Democrats united to pass this bill. We need Senate Democrats to do the same.

Dear MoveOn member,

Before Thanksgiving, House Democrats voted for and passed the Build Back Better Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Democrats are one step closer to delivering historic investments in clean energy, child care, and health care while addressing the GOP-rigged tax system that rewards wealth over work.¹

Now, we need the Democratic majority in the Senate to move swiftly to pass the full Build Back Better Act! Will you call Senators Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen and ask them to pass President Biden's Build Back Better Agenda?

Here's where to call:

• Sen. Cardin - (202) 224-4524
• Sen. Van Hollen - (202) 224-4654

Click here for a script and to report your call.

You can remind Sens. Cardin and Van Hollen that this bill will:

• cut childhood poverty in half
• expand affordable health care for more than 9 million people
• lower drug prices—almost IMMEDIATELY
• be the biggest investment in confronting our climate crisis in U.S. history
• include measures that are WILDLY POPULAR with voters of both parties across the country—including raising taxes on ultra-wealthy Americans and corporations²

Click here for more talking points and to let us know how the call went. We'll tally the number of calls MoveOn members are making and share them publicly to show just how much popular energy and momentum there is to pass Build Back Better immediately!

America is at a critical turning point. From how we pay for child care to how we care for our climate, we're facing extraordinary challenges. Build Back Better is a down payment in this work, includes incredibly popular measures, and will make a real difference in people's lives—immediately.

It's also a critical moment for Democrats. If Democrats fail to deliver, Tuesday's Republican surge could turn into a 2022 red wave to rival the Tea Party's 2010 takeover. But if Democrats can show they are serious about and capable of governing, if they can pass historic investments, and if they can make a real difference in the lives and bottom lines of Americans across the country—they will have firmer footing heading into the midterm elections next year.

The stakes are real—for the American people, the economy, our health, our climate—and House Democrats united to pass this bill. We need Senate Democrats to do the same.

Please call Sens. Cardin and Van Hollen now and askthem to support the strong, bold Build Back Better Act and pass it IMMEDIATELY.

Thanks for all you do.
