Call Script

My name is __________. I am a constituent, and my zip code is _______. I am a member of Indivisible SF.

I urge you to pass big, bold, green infrastructure plans that invest in America’s future and working class families. Pass legislation that creates an economy that works for us all, funded by requiring corporations and the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes. I urge you to not compromise on Republican demands such as funding infrastructure through tolls, increased gas taxes, and user-fees which disproportionately harm low- and middle-income families. Since McConnell has sworn that Republicans will never support our infrastructure plans, do not reduce or water them down in a futile attempt at bipartisanship.


Background

The American Jobs Plan and American Families Plan will create millions of good paying jobs rebuilding roads and bridges; creating a clean energy economy; investing in public education; making healthcare, childcare and housing more affordable; and helping small businesses recover. They will create an economy that works for all of us by requiring corporations and the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes. They will not raise income taxes on anyone making less than $400,000 a year.
