The American Rescue Plan

This is a major accomplishment for President Biden and the Democratic majorities in the House & Senate.

We all have the ability to share the good news and help Joe Biden promote the American Rescue Plan through social media.

Here are some suggestions for sharing:

• A video from President Biden discussing the provisions of the American Rescue Plan.

• A chart from the Center for American Progress breaking down what’s in the bill.

• A graphic from Senator Bernie Sanders.

• A lot of research from the 2020 cycle showed that the more specific the information the better. This thread from Eric Levitz of New York Magazine has a lot of good information about the impact of the bill.

• A lot of people are sharing images and news about their family and friends getting vaccinated. If you share yours, please include a thank you to President Biden and Democrats and use the moment as evidence that elections matter.

The Republicans and Right-Wing media are going into overdrive to change the subject with apocalyptic tales of gender-neutral potatoes and bigotry about the undocumented and trans community. They have a huge megaphone and may succeed if we pat ourselves on the back and move on. Selling this bill is essential and it’s not just Joe Biden’s job.
