TWO YEARS ON, Why are we still celebrating the IRA?
In short, because it’s still a big deal!
And while we have made an impact, polling from last fall shows that 41% of registered voters haven’t heard anything about the IRA and 22% have only heard a little. But, among people who do know about it, it’s very popular.
A major goal of Powering Progress is to help people understand the role of the federal government. For a lot of people, the only thing they hear about the government is what’s going wrong. Showing them what this bill has accomplished disrupts that narrative and increases support for an active and inclusive government.
Let’s remind people that, with their support, it is possible to have a government that works for them.
Remember what the IRA has done so far (that the mass media ignores!):
If all that sounds nerdy (it kind of is ), don’t forget that every person you inform about the IRA has the potential to save hundreds of dollars annually. It’s not just enough for the government to create great programs if no one knows enough about them to take advantage. This is your chance to help your community.Â
If you want to get really nerdy, there are a ton of resources where you can dive deep into how the IRA works for the American people. But you don’t need to know all the ins and outs, just the key investments and projects that will keep making our lives better in the coming years.
So what can we do to promote the biden administration's wins to our voters?
Host a community tabling event where you set up in a high traffic area and drive conversation about the IRA.Â
Go talk to some new, ideologically-aligned members of your community with our new Neighbor2Neighbor tool (available April 9).
