We are closer than ever before to the holy recovery we deserve with the Build Back Better Act up for a vote in the coming days. That’s why our members of Congress and the rest of the country need to hear from you. We need to keep the pressure on!
We want to know: How would the Build Back Better Act help you, your community or your congregation?
From paid family leave to unprecedented investment in climate action to much-needed reform of our immigration system, the Build Back Better Act before Congress is a transformative piece of legislation that would bring about a holy recovery where everyone can thrive. But when we listen to all the wonky policy talk and legislative jargon, it can be easy to forget that behind all the dollars and cents are our neighbors and families.
That’s why we are asking for you to share your story. How will the Build Back Better Act impact you, your family or your community?
We’d love it if you could share pictures and videos to tell the world about how these policies affect real people! You can see some examples below.
You can submit your story to the right.

Written Story Example:
“Three years ago, we welcomed our youngest son into the world while I was at a job with no paid leave policy. He was born on a Friday. I wasn’t even allowed to take off for his birth. We brought him home that Sunday. I was back at work Monday morning. The Build Back Better Act would make sure that no other parent like me would have to choose between providing for and caring for those we love.” - Jon, Ohio
