You’ve probably heard about big wins under the Biden-Harris administration like fighting climate change & upgrading infrastructure. Here are a few more ahead of the #StateOfTheUnion—and some that may have flown under your radar. Brought to you by a persistent grassroots movement.

By the way: six years ago today, Mitch McConnell banned me from speaking on the Senate floor after I started reading a letter by Coretta Scott King. He was trying to silence a whole movement. Nevertheless, we persisted. We took back power. And we’re using it to make real change.

If you’ve ever experienced the sheer joy of having a flight canceled & sitting on the floor of a terminal while on hold with customer service, listening to upbeat elevator music for hours in order to receive a refund in the form of a measly voucher, I’ve got great news for you:
The Biden-Harris administration recently announced new rules that protect airline travelers, including requiring airlines to automatically give full cash refunds. But we faced a roadblock while getting this across the finish line.
I noticed one line in the proposed FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 that completely stripped the “automatic” part out of the automatic refunds. Customers would be forced to manually request refunds in writing or online, wasting time and energy.

This year, nearly 300k Americans got hit with sledgehammer news that they have prostate cancer. Then came another sledgehammer: the cost of treatment. A drug called Xtandi could save their lives but costs up to $190,000/year. It’s a familiar story of corporate greed.
Taxpayer dollars helped develop Xtandi. Just to show what chumps Big Pharma makes of Americans, Astellas—the company that manufactures Xtandi—charges U.S. customers as much as six times more than patients in other countries.
The Biden-Harris administration is fighting back against Big Pharma’s greed: under a new proposal, if taxpayer dollars helped develop a drug—and if the company holding the patent has blocked access by jacking up the price—other companies could produce lower-cost generics.

Two years ago today, President Biden signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. It’s been a big win for Massachusetts—with $6 billion announced so far to repair roads and bridges, expand broadband, replace lead pipes, electrify buses, and more. Here are just a few examples:
Replacing lead pipes:

I never thought I’d run for office. But 12 years ago today, I launched a campaign to represent Massachusetts in the U.S. Senate—because it was a way to keep fighting for a country that works for everyone, not just the wealthy and well-connected.
I started out 17 points down. My opponent had heaps of campaign cash from Wall Street. But we ran a grassroots campaign. This was the crowd at our first organizing meeting later that fall. Person to person, we built a movement, and we won. #TBT A huge crowd of volunteers fills row after row after row of seats at an organizing event in 2011.
The past 12 years have shown us that when we organize, fight righteous fights, and hold those in power accountable, we can make positive change. Like taxing giant corporations. Lowering the cost of hearing aids. Cracking down on rich tax cheats. Funding infrastructure jobs.

When we get organized and get in the fight, we can beat back powerful special interests and make real change. Here’s how we achieved the biggest advance in corporate tax fairness in three decades:

My story doesn’t follow a straight path. I grew up on the ragged edge of the middle class. After my daddy’s heart attack, my family came within an inch from losing our house, but my mother got a minimum wage job at Sears that saved our family.
I dropped out of college at 19 to get married, but got a second chance at a public college that cost $50 a semester and got to live my dream of becoming a public school teacher.
I’ve dedicated my career to studying why families go broke and fighting to rebuild the middle class. After Wall Street crashed our economy, I fought to create the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which has already returned about $16 billion to Americans who’ve been cheated.
