Tweet your representative to demand bold action during Recovery Recess

Our families, our economy, our democracy are in crisis. This Recovery Recess, we will show up together to demand Congress go bold and go big, no excuses, and no exceptions. It’s time for Congress to urgently deliver jobs, care, justice, climate solutions, indigenous tribal sovereignty, and real democracy for all of our people.

The American Rescue Plan just passed but we know that the work is not done. We need Congress to immediately pivot to bold recovery based on the THRIVE Agenda, which outlines eight key frameworks that any COVID recovery package must work towards:

• Create millions of good, safe jobs.
• Build worker power to fight inequality.
• Invest in Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities to counteract racial and gender injustice and build the power that they deserve.
• Strengthen and heal the nation to nation relationship with Indigenous nations.
• Combat environmental injustice and ensure healthy lives for all.
• Avert climate and environmental catastrophe.
• Ensure fairness for working people and communities, particularly in industries and regions in economic transition or crisis due to COVID-19, climate change, and other economic shocks and shifts.
• Reinvest in the public sector and establish public institutions to get the job done.

Our vision is to use this moment to radically reshape our economy with a plan to create dignified jobs for millions of unemployed workers and support a better life for the millions more who remain vulnerable in this pivotal moment. This #RecoveryRecess, we’re pushing our members of Congress (MoCs) to support the THRIVE Agenda and democracy.

We have to sustain and escalate our pressure on MoCs who committed to be Democracy Defenders, make sure they maintain their commitment and keep pushing those who are faltering. H.R. 1/S. 1 (the For the People Act) prevents voter suppression through automatic voter registration, same-day registration, fights racial and partisan gerrymandering at all levels of government and institutes public funding for elections to reduce the power of corporate money in government.
