Tell the Senate: Pass the Expanded Child Tax Credit Help millions of families afford the essentials.   TAKE ACTION NOW   We already know the CTC is a proven way to cut child poverty and help women and families make ends meet—make sure the Senate does not miss this chance to expand this lifeline for families, women, and children. Tell your Senators to take action RIGHT NOW to pass this vital legislation to help families put food on the table and pay their bills. -Kat Menefee she/her Counsel, Income Security Team --------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Amy Matsui Date: January 29 2024 11:41 AM Subject: Take Action: Help millions of families put food on the table and pay their bills. Fighting for gender justice in the courts, in public policy, and in our society. Justice for her. Justice for all. In 2022 we saw the largest increase in child poverty ever recorded. As soon as tomorrow, the House of Representatives is voting on legislation that could lift half a million children out of poverty by 2025 by expanding the Child Tax Credit (CTC). Tell Congress: Pass the Expanded Child Tax Credit Help millions of families afford the essentials. TAKE ACTION NOW The bipartisan tax package currently being debated in Congress includes an expansion of the CTC that would help millions of families put food on the table, cover their rent, and pay for child care and other bills. We know that families thrive when they can afford necessities, which in turn strengthens our economy and our communities. While this expansion of the CTC doesn’t go as far as it should, it is a critical opportunity to make a significant dent in child poverty right now. We can’t let this moment pass us by. That’s why we need you to act before the vote this week, to set up a long overdue victory for women and families. We know how to end child poverty. That is why we are fighting for this expansion right now, and why we will keep fighting to further improve the CTC.
