BIDEN’S PLAN: A GOVERNMENT THAT WORKS FOR ALL

Biden’s bold plans are aimed at restoring faith in government as an instrument of good. He also wants to restore the balance in taxation by having the super-rich and corporations pay their fair share, the first major tax hike since 1993.

WE NEED A CONGRESSIONAL COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE THE JANUARY 6 INSURRECTION

Nancy Pelosi proposed a commission to investigate and provide a definitive account of the January 6 insurrection but it is blocked by Republicans. Republicans oppose it because it threatens to vilify their base and their leader. It needs a push from us.

JUSTICE FOR ALL REQUIRES MEANINGFUL POLICE REFORM AND COMPENSATION FOR THE WRONGFULLY CONVICTED

The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act is a good first step in addressing the structural racism permeating the criminal justice system from interactions with the police through incarceration and beyond. Its failure to eliminate pretext traffic stops, which is how most people of color come in contact with police must be corrected. On the state level, Oregon must enact compensation for those wrongly convicted.

RAISE TAXES AND BUILD HUMAN INFRASTRUCTURE

Tomorrow, Biden will present an ambitious plan to expand human infrastructure. If he succeeds, Americas will enjoy services that other developed nations have had for generations. It will cost billions. Yet the costs of not investing in human and physical infrastructure have been staggering.

BIDEN’S BIG PLANS COST BIG MONEY, AND THEY’RE WORTH IT

President Biden is tackling a barrage of America’s longstanding monumental problems. The solutions are just as monumental but they come with multilayered benefits . . . and huge pricetags. If we want a better future, we must pay for it.

Rebalancing the Supreme Court is Necessary to Protect Our Democracy

The recently introduced Judiciary Act of 2021 expands the Supreme Court from 9 to 13 members--one for each federal circuit--which is how it was originally constituted. It also eliminates the ultra-conservative, illegitimately achieved supermajority. We must do everything in our power to get this legislation passed.

“JUSTICE FOR ALL” DEMANDS CONGRESS PASS THE GEORGE FLOYD JUSTICE IN POLICING ACT

George Floyd’s murderer is going to prison. But justice for all the other people of Color terrorized, brutalized, and even killed by cops is a distant hope. Congress can bring justice closer for all by passing the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act now.

BIPARTISANSHIP IN CONGRESS IS A MIRAGE. FACE THE FILIBUSTER.

Biden seeks bipartisanship to unify the country. But Republicans are blocking his agenda, not because it’s bad for Americans but to hold power. It’s time for Dems to push legislation to strengthen democracy and face the collision with the filibuster.

BIDEN, PUSHING FOR UNITY, RELOCATES BIPARTISANSHIP

President Biden wants to unify the country. But bipartisanship in Congress is MIA. So, he’s appealing for votes outside of Washington. Polls show he’s moving the country toward reunification but he needs our help.

Repair the tax code and end DC’s taxation without representation

Congress must raise corporate taxes rather than take out more loans to pay for Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure/jobs program. It’s also time to grant DC voting representation in Congress.

John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act Protects Our Freedom to Vote

BIPOC communities have long had the right to vote. Yet voter suppression efforts have stripped many of the freedom to vote. To honor the April 16th anniversary of DC emancipation, we urge our Members of Congress to protect our freedom to vote by bringing voting rights and DC statehood bills to the floor of both houses for an up-or-down vote asap.

MAKE D.C. A STATE & REMOVE THE SCAR ON DEMOCRACY’S CAPITOL

For 150 years, American citizens living in Washington, DC have been denied the fundamental right to elect their own Congressional representatives. This racist rule must end by making DC a state.
