Friend –
Have 30 seconds for a recap of my last email?

Child
care
costs

U.S.

The

Child

anymore.
This financial burden is devastating for so many parents — and it often leaves kids without the nutritious food, safe housing and support they deserve.
Friend, will you join the fight for better child tax benefits? [[link removed]]

When Congress expanded child tax credits during the pandemic, it cut child poverty nearly in HALF. Send a reminder: Quality care is still unbelievably unaffordable – and families need more support. [[link removed]]

Hi Friend,
Tax Day is on the horizon – and I’m sure you’re tired of hearing about it. But I’m not here to remind you to do them.
I want to talk about how the tax system isn’t working for families.
You know the stats by now: 1 in 5 Americans say child care is a barrier to their well-being. And in 2021, the average cost was more than $10,000 per child .
Please, tell Congress: Kids pay the price for the child care crisis. To solve it, we have to invest in their futures. [[link removed]]
Friend, the Child Tax Credit (CTC) and Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC) help millions of families across the nation cover the costs of raising children.
But with prices rising faster than inflation, these benefits just aren’t enough.
Offsetting the cost of care ensures parents can return to work and afford essentials like food and housing. With less financial strain, their mental health improves – and the chances of child abuse and neglect dwindle, too.
So, will you join the fight for better child tax benefits and brighter futures? [[link removed]]
