Use the tool on the right to tell your representative in Congress and Sen. Pat Toomey & Sen. Bob Casey to support President Biden's agenda for an equitable recovery that invests in US by making billionaires and wealthy corporations pay their fair share!

President Biden’s recovery proposals — including the American Jobs Plan and American Families Plan — are a ground-breaking agenda to move us toward an equitable economy, addressing problems that have plagued our nation for decades: under-investment in infrastructure and children; poverty and economic inequality; and inadequate access to affordable health care, housing, quality education, and good-paying jobs.

It would also significantly reduce racial and ethnic disparities rooted in racism and other forms of discrimination, that for generations have resulted in deeply unequal access to jobs, education, housing, and health care.

The president’s recovery agenda would take historic steps to address these challenges and policy gaps by:

• Reducing child poverty by more than 40% by extending the American Rescue Plan’s temporary expansion of the Child Tax Credit through 2025.
• Improving the economic security of low-paid workers without children at home by making the American Rescue Plan’s temporary Earned Income Tax Credit expansion permanent.
• Helping millions of families get affordable, high-quality child care and preschool by expanding child care subsidies, providing funding to states to make preschool available to all 3- and 4-year-olds, permanently increasing the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit, and investing in the child care and early education workforces.
• Expanding access to affordable health care by extending the American Rescue Plan’s increase in premium tax credits to make marketplace coverage more affordable.
• Helping older people and people with disabilities remain in the community with the home-based and community-based services they need, while ensuring that those who care for them are paid fairly for their work.
• Expanding educational opportunity by making two years of community college free to all, increasing Pell grants to make higher education more affordable, and taking steps to reduce tuition at HBCUs and other minority-serving institutions (MSIs).
• Helping families manage their caregiving responsibilities and health needs and stay connected to their jobs by creating a permanent paid family and medical leave program.
• Addressing child food insecurity by making permanent the Rescue Plan’s summer nutrition benefit program.
• Shoring up the nation’s physical infrastructure and expanding the stock of less expensive housing.
• Calling on Congress to reform the Unemployment Insurance system, which does far too little to protect workers who lose their jobs from serious financial distress and doesn’t respond adequately during recessions.

Email your U.S. representative and Pennsylvania senators NOW, and insist that they advance the president's plan for an equitable recovery that invests in US by ensuring that the wealthy pay their fair share!

Funding an equitable recovery requires a tax system that raises revenues from those who have the most and who benefit greatly from public investments in everything from science and technology to infrastructure and education. The Biden tax proposals would curtail the tax code’s tilt toward income from investments rather than income from labor for those earning more than $1 million; closing various loopholes, including the loophole that allows wealthy people to entirely avoid paying taxes on unrealized capital gains throughout their lifetimes; and raising the corporate tax rate and limiting federal tax incentives for companies to shift their profits and investments overseas to where they face little or no taxation. In short, the plan would ensure that wealthy individuals and businesses pay their fair share.
