We're in the final days to set the size of the infrastructure package and Congress must be courageous and ambitious to meet the moment we're in.

Right now, Congress is finalizing the size of the upcoming economic recovery package—a plan to invest in communities, create jobs, repair our country's crumbling infrastructure, and reduce carbon emissions. Congress is asking the question: How big should we go? We're responding: As big as the crises we face—to address systemic racism, climate catastrophe, and economic injustices.

Sample Script:
Hi, my name is [NAME] from [CITY, STATE].
As a constituent I am concerned with the multiple crises we face of climate change, racial injustice, and mass unemployment.
I urge you to address all three of these by supporting big and bold investments for a clean energy and livable future in the infrastructure package.
Congress should build upon President Biden's American Jobs Plan and go bigger—align it with the THRIVE Act for stronger climate, labor, and equity standards.
Thank you.
When investing in a livable future, many people only see dollar signs instead of what should be front and center: The millions of human lives and livelihoods that depend on the top line number Congress sets. Every dollar spent is an investment in people across the country—in good, clean energy jobs, in clean drinking water, in a more equitable and livable future for all.
Big investments take political courage. For members of Congress to be bold and courageous, they need to see an upswell of their constituents demanding such transformative infrastructure investments in climate, jobs, and justice. Call your members of Congress today to tell them to GO BIG on infrastructure so that every community can thrive!
