Take One Action to Bolster our Industry

A historic increase in federal infrastructure spending is on the cusp of becoming reality, and we need your help to push it over the finish line.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which has passed the Senate and now resides with the House of Representatives, is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure badly needed investment across a broad range of American infrastructure, including roads, bridges, rail, public transportation, and other critical infrastructure such as airports, ports, broadband, energy, and water systems.

The bill will create high-paying jobs, enhance the country's overall quality of life, and invigorate our industry for decades to come.

My name is [Name], [Title] at [Company Name]. On behalf of the American structural steel design, fabrication, and construction industry, I urge you to support the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).

As a member of the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) and/or the National Steel Bridge Alliance (NSBA), I am part of a 50,000 member community of steelworkers, designers, and professionals who daily provide the backbone of America’s infrastructure and built environment.

Our nation’s roads, bridges, rail, public transportation, and other critical infrastructure have been woefully underfunded for decades, and the IIJA is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to invigorate our nation's long-term infrastructure investment. This bill will put more Americans to work, improve the quality of life in our cities, towns, and rural areas, and drive commerce and supplies across our nation.

Thank you for investing in America’s future - support the IIJA!
