The American Rescue Plan that President Biden will sign tomorrow could increase income for some of America’s poor & low-income families by 20% this year. This is part of the bold action Biden promised the #PoorPeoplesCampaign last September.
While we have more work to do to make these changes permanent & address longterm inequality, President Biden & Vice President Harris have already helped shift the conversation about what is possible.
Not a single Republican was willing to join Democrats to pass this legislation, but what VP Harris said to our PPC Assembly 2 years ago is still true: ending poverty is a moral issue that can unite Americans & lift us all.
The “Let Them Wait Eight” Democrats and every Republican will have to face people like Pamela from WV, who, with the #PoorPeoplesCampaign, have declared we won’t be silent anymore!
Now is the time to push forward for living wages, universal healthcare, guaranteed income, affordable housing & a bold green infrastructure plan to address the climate crisis. #PoorPeoplesCampaign
