Mitch McConnell has pledged to fight President Biden's Jobs Plan "every step of the way"

Let us know what you find most exciting about this game-changing set of policies.

Dear MoveOn member,

Trillions of dollars invested in jobs, infrastructure, supporting the care economy, and fighting climate change.

These are the promises of President Joe Biden's American Jobs Plan—a generational investment in rebuilding a stronger, greener, more equitable and sustainable America, which Senator Elizabeth Warren called "a game-changer."¹

But as we saw with the American Rescue Plan—President Biden's massive COVID relief bill—just because a piece of legislation is beneficial for Americans doesn't mean it'll have an easy time making it through Congress.

Already, Mitch McConnell has vowed to fight this bill "every step of the way."² And we know that there's always the danger of it getting watered down, jammed up in arcane processes, or delayed by the GOP's obstruction.

That's why we're taking the time now, right after the plan has been announced, to start thinking about how MoveOn members will help push Congress to make the final legislation as big and bold as possible—and pass it quickly.

Will you share which piece of the American Jobs Plan is your top priority—and then take a 2-minute survey to tell us more about what excites you about the American Jobs Plan and what actions you'll take to help it pass?

My top priority is:

• Investing in green jobs and fighting the climate crisis.
  
  
• Rebuilding American's infrastructure, including our roads and bridges.
  
  
• Investing in new infrastructure, such as universal, high-speed broadband.
  
  
• Transforming the care economy with more high-paying jobs.
  
  
• I have another top priority in the American Jobs Plan.

Here's some of what's in President Biden's plan:

• Fix and rebuild highways, bridges, airports, and transit systems.
  
  
• Tackle the climate crisis by creating hundreds of thousands of green jobs.
  
  
• Create jobs and raise wages for essential home care workers.
  
  
• Ensure workers have the right to organize, join a union, and bargain collectively with their employers.
  
  
• And more!³

Over the weeks ahead, the real, transformational opportunities to rebuild our country, create millions of jobs, and fight climate change will be front and center. It will be a huge fight: Republicans in Congress have made clear that they are against working together on this plan, and right-wing billionaires and corporations are going to spend big money trying to divide Americans.

But we know how incredibly necessary it is to invest trillions in rebuilding our economy. Tell us your priorities and share how you'll join other MoveOn members in this fight.

Thanks for all you do.
