The passage of the American Rescue Plan paved the way to begin our nation's recovery from the COVID-19 crisis. Now, the American Jobs Plan will bring further relief to those most impacted by the health and economic crisis exacerbated by the previous administration's inaction. Jewish Dems are proud to support the American Jobs Plan, and we call on Congress to quickly take action.
Now is the time for this once-in-a-century investment that will rebuild the middle class, address economic inequality, transition to a clean energy economy, and deliver justice for Americans who have been systemically excluded from our economy, including communities of color and rural communities.
Through robust investment in the American people, the American Jobs Plan will fundamentally improve the lives and livelihoods of Americans by:
Modernizing the United States' travel infrastructure, including roads, rail lines, bridges, highways and ports;
Expanding electric vehicle consumption by building more charging stations and electrifying our public buses;
Investing in research and development, manufacturing, and high-quality job training;
Bolstering the nation's electricity grid;
Securing in-home and community based care for older family members and people with disabilities;
Enacting nationwide broadband to bring all communities online;
Revamping America's water systems to ensure everyone has access to clean water; and
Building two million affordable and energy-efficient housing units.
