Call to Action! Coalition for a National Infrastructure Bank Day of Action January 27, 2022

Mobilize your allies, friends and neighbors on January 27, all day, to spread the word about the National Infrastructure Bank campaign. This is a positive, urgent, solution to what ails our nation. Since the successful passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in early November, the government has been unable to take further action. The Coalition for a National Infrastructure Bank (NIB) has the answer, and is rushing to fill the vacuum. We are campaigning for the passage of H.R.3339, to create a $5 trillion infrastructure bank to build our nation.
