Folks,
Right now, we're seeing Republicans propose legislation that will make it harder for folks to cast their ballot -- specifically targeting communities of color. This 21st Century Jim Crow assault is real. It is unrelenting, and we will challenge it vigorously.
That's why Vice President Harris announced the DNC's I Will Vote initiative. And I signed an executive order to promote voting access and called on Congress to pass legislation to protect the vote.
As the late John Lewis said, "Freedom is not a state; it is an act." And we must act, and we will act. I hope you will take this moment to read about I Will Vote and learn more about my priorities →
I Will Vote
We must continue our work to protect and preserve our democracy. And one of the best ways of doing that is by safeguarding folks' most fundamental right -- the right to vote.
Already, we've seen 17 states enact 28 laws that make it harder to vote. The DNC's new $25 million plan to protect and expand the right to vote will work to register, protect, and educate voters nationwide.
We must also fight for the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore and expand voting protections. As soon as Congress passes them, I will sign them.
Turning relief into recovery
Millions of families all over the country started receiving monthly payments as part of the Expanded Child Tax Credit. This is huge.
Parents who are working hard to make ends meet will now have the additional support they deserve. Whether it's buying school supplies or paying a monthly expense, Democrats are delivering for America's families and children.
Checks in pockets, kids in schools, and shots in arms. That's the American Rescue Plan at work.
America is on the move again
Our country is leading the world out of a global pandemic. And, because of folks like you, we've created over three million jobs in five months, distributed over 300 million COVID-19 vaccines, and sent over 160 million relief checks through the American Rescue Plan. America is coming back together:
Volunteer with the Democratic National Committee
I've seen firsthand what this team can get done when we work together. You beat the odds and helped take back the White House, protect our majority in the House, and flip the Senate.
But, there are still important elections happening this year -- and of course there's the 2022 midterm election. It's critical that we continue to elect Democrats from the school board to the Senate who are committed to moving this country forward.
Every call, text, and conversation makes a difference. Let my friends at the DNC know how you'd like to get involved by filling out this form →
Supporting our party
Thank you for taking the time to read my latest newsletter. This nation is on the road to recovery, and with folks like you by my side, I know that our best days lie ahead.
Electing Democrats nationwide is so important to sustaining our success. Thankfully, our party is already hard at work hiring organizers nationwide, protecting the right to vote, and strengthening our infrastructure to elect Democrats in every corner of our country.
If you're in the position to do so, please consider making a $25 donation to the DNC today. Anything you're able to contribute will be put straight to use electing Democrats up and down the ballot nationwide.
