Jan's Plans & Pans - March 12, 2024

During his State of the Union address last Thursday, President Joe Biden emphasized that America is a story of progress, possibilities, and resilience. He delivered a strong speech that detailed how far we have come under his leadership, the hurdles we have cleared, and his bold, optimistic vision for the future.

Since taking office, President Biden has created 15 million jobs, growing the country from the bottom up and middle out. Medicare can now negotiate drug prices for prescription drugs. Insulin has been capped at $35/month for seniors. Nearly $138 billion in student loans have been canceled for nearly 4 million Americans. We are building an America where all people can thrive.

I was thrilled that President Biden once again reaffirmed his unwavering support for reproductive justice, including reinstating the protection of Roe v. Wade and implementing an expanded Child Tax Credit. He made it clear that the future of our nation and democracy is at stake, and that we must come together to defend the rights and freedoms that right-wing extremists and the twice-impeached former President are actively seeking to strip away from us.

Despite these turbulent times, I am hopeful for the future of our country. I am inspired every day by Americans who care so deeply about upholding democracy and advancing progressive values. Our optimism and unity are our strength. Let's keep up the fight!
