This is a historic moment in the struggle for working people’s rights on the job, and it was delivered by a broad coalition that transcends any one issue, party or ideology. This fight is about strengthening fundamental civil rights. #PROAct

We look forward to this rule being enacted so we can create more family-supporting union jobs by continuing to #buildbackbetter.

This, along with strengthening the domestic supply chains by implementing new price preferences and increasing transparency and accountability, will continue to lead us to build a stronger, fairer economy with a robust manufacturing base.

Today’s proposed rule finally would close loopholes that allow products bought with taxpayer dollars to be only 55% made in the United States, while still qualifying for government procurement under #BuyAmerican rules.

For years, we’ve received lip service on the importance of #BuyAmerican, but today the Biden administration is following through on the simple concept that American taxpayers’ dollars should be used to create jobs and advance production here at home.

is once again delivering on his promise of fighting for America’s working families.

And together, with the labor and civil rights movements locked arm in arm, we are going to win it.

The faithful marches Congressman Lewis led...the moral convictions he embodied...we must carry those forward today. It’s our turn to pass this test. Democracy for All. That’s what we’re fighting for.

When John Lewis marched on Washington… When he marched across the Edmund Pettus in Selma... When he marched through the halls of Congress... John Lewis marched for us.

Some will say that’s impossible. But every time our democracy has been threatened, Americans found a way to save it. John Lewis devoted his life to strengthening it.

This is a time for the Senate to be courageous and lead...by clearing the way for the #PROAct, S.1, and the entire Workers First Agenda to move forward together.

It has become clear that one of two things must be pushed aside: the filibuster or the hopes and aspirations of the American people. The choice is crystal clear.

And we cannot afford to let any of our agenda—from democracy in the workplace to democracy at the ballot box to investments in our people—fall victim to a procedural tool conceived in segregation.

And that means passing labor law reform and voter protection legislation with a simple 50-vote majority. We cannot allow the minority to block the will of the American people, expressed decisively in the 2020 elections.

It has become clearer than ever: to save American democracy, we need democracy in the U.S. Senate.

Now, the Mexican government must deliver on its promise to punish the corrupt, sham “protection union” agents who tried to steal the election last April, and ensure a free and fair vote this August.

This announcement of a remediation agreement is a major step forward in addressing the egregious violations of workers’ rights at the
