In the spirit of President Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt, join Rhode Island State Senator Louis DiPalma, Ohio Representative Lisa Sobecki, and Virginia Building Trades President Jason Parker for a special webinar on the National Infrastructure Bank entitled, “The Better Angels of Our Nature”.

On the eve of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, the Coalition for a National Infrastructure Bank sponsored a webinar urging congress to create a $4 trillion National Infrastructure Bank. We can establish the needed new bi-partisanship with this massive new institution. We can build everything the nation has foregone over the past decades and create 25 million new, high-paying, jobs in the process.  Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt utilized similar institutions to address comparable crises. State legislatures and city governments across the country are now convening and sending resolutions to congress in support of this policy. It is time for Congress, both parties concurring, to do their part and start the reconstruction.

Note: The title of the webinar is a quote from the first inaugural speech by Abraham Lincoln.  His speech occurred when the country was on the brink of civil war.  Lincoln appealed to the "better angels of our nature", to remember our common heritage, and the struggle and sacrifice of so many who came before us, to create and preserve the Union.  The full quote can be read in the beginning of the video.
