Take Action
There’s no better way to start the work of "Build Back Better" than by passing the $1.9 trillion rescue bill President Joe Biden proposed last week—the American Workforce Rescue Act. It’s the Biden plan to curb the coronavirus, get the country vaccinated and invest resources where they are needed most, including billions for states, schools and localities. Tell your legislators to pass the act now.
Pass the American Workforce Rescue Act
