Progressive Democrats of America [info@pdamerica.org] indicates it is time
Citizen Lobbying on Wed., Sept. 22 or Thurs., Sept. 23, depending upon where
you live on which side of the country! Here's what Ryan Grim, the excellent
political reporter for The Intercept and The Hill said about the on-going
negotiations over the $3.5 Trillion Reconciliation Bill: “We are now embarking
on what are likely to be the most important four to eight weeks of
non-electoral political maneuvering in more than fifty years” - Ryan Grim,
September 20, 2021. Not only is the
Reconciliation package full of strong progressive policies, but the very
fact of its passage will be a game changer - opening up new possibilities
for more progressive programs and policies to be passed by Congress that
address the many inequalities that plague American
society. Therefore, PDA is calling on all to reach out to your
Congress people and your Senators and register your support for a complete $3.5
Trillion Reconciliation Bill. Join one
of our Congressional Liaison organizing calls on Wednesday or Thursday this
week to learn what we can do together in this essential moment for the national
progressive movement, and for the people and the planet: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfumlLLkwoHxvDuNWlsQJRmVtOrpopNKbyQPVs8uXleVyxkAQ/viewform.
