August 10, 2021 August 10, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Chuck Schumer Speaker of the House Senate Majority Leader House of Representatives H-232 United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Madam Speaker and Leader Schumer: We write in appreciation of your leadership as Congressional Democrats continue to wield our governing majorities to deliver immediate and transformational improvements in the lives of the American people. As part of this shared commitment, the Congressional Progressive Caucus has recently concluded an internal survey of its 96 members regarding the urgency of ensuring that a narrower bipartisan infrastructure agreement is enacted on the condition that a robust package of social, human, and climate infrastructure—reflecting all Democrats’ longstanding priorities—is simultaneously passed by simple majorities in Congress through the budget reconciliation process. We specifically asked whether members would commit to withholding a yes vote on the bipartisan infrastructure deal—Senate Amendment 2137 to H.R. 3684—until the Senate has passed budget reconciliation legislation deemed acceptable by the Congressional Progressive Caucus. A majority of our respondents affirmed that they would withhold their votes in support of the bipartisan legislation in the House of Representatives until the Senate adopted a robust reconciliation package. We therefore encourage you to continue coordinating closely between the two chambers, collaborating with the White House, and engaging with our caucus so that the reconciliation framework reflects our shared and longstanding investment priorities, and that the Senate first adopts this reconciliation package before House consideration of any bipartisan infrastructure legislation. We look forward to working with you in the days and weeks ahead to maintain and strengthen our Democratic unity in order to deliver historic change for the American people and enact the full scope of the President’s Build Back Better agenda. Sincerely, Pramila Jayapal Katie Porter Ilhan Omar Member of Congress Member of Congress Member of Congress .

    July 31, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Chuck Schumer Speaker Minority Leader House of Representatives United States Senate Washington, DC, 20515 Washington, DC, 20510 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader Schumer: Thank you for your leadership in securing necessary resources for communities and states in previous stimulus packages. In the midst of the nation’s most acute health care crisis in the last century, we must ensure everyone has guaranteed health care. Coupled with the historic levels of unemployment and economic instability, an estimated 5.4 million people around the country have lost their employer-based health insurance coverage, joining the roughly 30 million uninsured individuals at the outset of the crisis.1 Millions of people have fallen into the coverage gaps and cannot access Medicaid, COBRA, or the ACA marketplace. Allowing people to lose their health insurance in the midst of a public health pandemic is completely unacceptable. This is why we introduced H.R. 6674, The Medicare Crisis Program Act, to expand our country’s reliable and effective public health insurance programs to provide health security for our unemployed and uninsured. We must do more to ensure everyone has the health services they need. Therefore, we are writing to urge you to include the following key provisions from H.R. 6674, The Medicare Crisis Program Act, in the next stimulus package: ● Expand traditional Medicare to any uninsured person and their dependents who experienced a loss or reduction in employment during the COVID-19 crisis. In addition to expanded eligibility, H.R. 6674 includes expanded coverage under the Medicare program.

    August 10, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Steny Hoyer Speaker Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer, As we advance legislation to rebuild and renew America’s infrastructure, we encourage you to continue your commitment to combating the climate crisis by including critical clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives in the upcoming infrastructure package. These incentives will play a critical role in America’s economic recovery, alleviate some of the pollution impacts that have been borne by disadvantaged communities, and help the country build back better and cleaner. The clean energy sector was projected to add 175,000 jobs in 2020 but the COVID-19 pandemic upended the industry and roughly 300,000 clean energy workers were still out of work in the beginning of 2021.1 Clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives are an important part of bringing these workers back. It is critical that these policies support strong labor standards and domestic manufacturing. The importance of clean energy tax policy is made even more apparent and urgent with record- high temperatures in the Pacific Northwest, unprecedented drought across the West, and the impacts of tropical storms felt up and down the East Coast. We ask that the infrastructure package prioritize inclusion of a stable, predictable, and long-term tax platform that: Provides long-term extensions and expansions to the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit to meet President Biden’s goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035; Extends and modernizes tax incentives for commercial and residential energy efficiency improvements and residential electrification; Extends and modifies incentives for clean transportation options and alternative fuel infrastructure; and Supports domestic clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation manufacturing.

    This transcript was exported on May 18, 2021 - view latest version here. Melissa Murray: Hey Strict Scrutiny listeners, it's Melissa Murray. When I'm not chopping it up with Leah and Kate on Strict Scrutiny, I'm a professor at NYU Law, where I also have the privilege of being the faculty director of the Birnbaum Women's Leadership Network. Each year the BWLN host's a symposium on issues relating to gender justice, and gender equity. This year, our symposium, which was held on March 5th, focused on politics, power, and women's leadership. The day featured incredible panels from a wide range of women leaders from across the country, but the highlight of the day was certainly a keynote conversation between myself and Representative Katie Porter, who represents California's 45th congressional district, aka the OC, in the US House of Representatives. We are delighted to share that conversation with all of you today as a very special episode brought to you by Strict Scrutiny and the BWLN. We hope you enjoy it. Intro: As Chief Justice, may it please the court, it's an old joke but when a man argues against two beautiful ladies like this, they're going to have the last word. Intro: She spoke, not elegantly, but with unmistakable clarity. She said, "I ask no favor for my sex, all I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our necks." Melissa Murray: I am thrilled to introduce our keynote conversation participant, and that is Congresswoman Katie Porter. Congresswoman Porter represents the 45th congressional district in Orange County, California, and in Congress she is a member of the House oversight and reform committee, and the House natural resources committee, and she chairs the oversight and investigation sub committee.

    20 19 BUILDING POWER FOR THE REST OF US OCTOBER 24-25 • HYATT REGENCY WASHINGTON ON CAPITOL HILL 400 New Jersey Avenue N.W. Washington, DC 20001 OUR TEAM 2 WELCOME TO OUR PROGRESSIVE COMMUNITY: Thank you for joining us for our Progressive Strategy Summit 2019 - Building Power for the Rest of Us! We are coming together because we believe that even in the midst of a constitutional crisis, there is nothing more powerful than people power. We know that real change won’t come to Washington unless and until we listen to people fighting in Shakopee, Minnesota for Amazon to accommodate workers observing Ramadan, in Kansas City, Missouri for fair, safe and affordable housing, and in Orlando, Florida for living wages. That’s why this Summit includes grassroots activists from all across our great nation, national advocates and strategists, and representatives from the over 100 member-strong Congressional Progressive Caucus. It’s unique to have a caucus co-chaired by a union member, Congressman Mark Pocan, and a grassroots organizer, Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal. We’ll hear from people fighting for change on the front lines and people fighting for change in the halls of Congress. We’ll kick off with a town hall cosponsored by She the People and the Progressive Caucus Action Fund in which women of color grassroots leaders will come together with women of color leaders in Congress to discuss the work ahead to achieve racial, gender, economic, health, LGBTQ and climate justice. We’ll give awards to outstanding progressive grassroots champions and lawmakers. And we’ll keep rolling from there into important discussions about saving our democracy, building a powerful labor movement, listening to black voters, what it takes to win, and so much more.

While COVID-19 related-research is now in overdrive, most other research has been slowed down or stopped due to pandemic-induced closures of campuses and laboratories. We are deeply concerned that the people who comprise the research workforce – graduate students, postdocs, principal investigators, and technical support staff – are at risk. While Federal rules have allowed researchers to continue to receive their salaries from federal grant funding, their work has been stopped due to shuttered laboratories and facilities and many researchers are currently unable to make progress on their grants. Additionally, researchers will need supplemental funding to support an additional four months’ salary, as many campuses will remain shuttered until the fall, at the earliest. Many core research facilities – typically funded by user fees – sit idle. Still, others have incurred significant costs for shutting down their labs, donating the personal protective equipment (PPE) to frontline health care workers, and cancelling planned experiments. Congress must act to preserve our current scientific workforce and ensure that the U.S.
