We’re vaccinating the nation. We’re creating hundreds of thousands of jobs. We’re delivering real results people can see and feel in their own lives. Opening the doors of opportunity. Guaranteeing fairness and justice.

If we are to truly restore the soul of America, then we need to protect the sacred right to vote. Congress should pass H.R. 1 and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and send them to my desk right away.

Immigration has always been essential to America. For more than 30 years, politicians have talked about immigration reform and done nothing about it. It’s time to fix it.

I will do everything in my power to protect the American people from the epidemic of gun violence. But it’s time for Congress to act as well. This shouldn’t be a Red vs. Blue issue. It’s an American issue.

We have all seen the knee of injustice on the neck of Black America. Now is our opportunity to make real progress — to bend the arc of the moral universe toward justice.

America won’t back away from our commitment to human rights and fundamental freedoms. No responsible American president can remain silent when basic human rights are violated.

Trickle-down economics has never worked. It’s time to grow the economy from the bottom up and middle out.

A recent study shows that 55 of the nation’s biggest corporations paid zero in federal income tax last year. No federal taxes on more than $40 billion in profits. That’s not right. It’s time for corporate America and the wealthiest 1% of Americans to pay their fair share.

12 years is no longer enough to compete in the 21st century. That’s why the American Families Plan guarantees four additional years of public education for every person in America — two years of universal, high-quality pre-school and two years of free community college.

To win the competition for the future, we also need to make a once-in-a-generation investment in our families. That’s why I’m introducing the American Families Plan tonight, which addresses four of the biggest challenges facing American families today.

Doing nothing on infrastructure is not an option. We can’t be so busy competing with each other that we forget the competition is with the rest of the world to win the 21st century.

Let’s pass the $15 minimum wage. No one should work 40 hours a week and still live below the poverty line.

Independent experts estimate the American Jobs Plan will add millions of jobs and trillions of dollars in economic growth for years to come. These are good-paying jobs that can’t be outsourced.

The economy created more than 1.3 million new jobs in 100 days. That’s more new jobs in the first 100 days than any president on record. America is moving forward — and we can’t stop now.

In my first 100 days, we kept our commitment and we’re sending $1,400 rescue checks to 85% of all American households. We’ve already sent more than 160 million checks out the door. For many people, it’s making all the difference in the world.

Tonight, I can say because of you — the American people — our progress these past 100 days against one of the worst pandemics in history is one of the greatest logistical achievements our country has ever seen.

100 days ago, America’s house was on fire. We had to act, so we: - Passed the American Rescue Plan - Administered over 200 million shots - Sent over 160 million relief checks - Delivered food and rental assistance to millions - Provided small business loans

After just 100 days I can report to the nation: America is on the move again.
