John—

This week, Congress is working to finalize a package of tax policies. Tell Congress they MUST include the expanded Child Tax Credit to help women and families!

Tell Congress to Expand the Child Tax Credit

Take Action to Support Women and Families

TAKE ACTION

The expanded Child Tax Credit (CTC) is a proven way to cut child poverty and help women and families make ends meet—but Congress missed its chance to expand the CTC last year. Tell your members of Congress they can’t pass up another opportunity to help women and families who need support the most.

Fighting for gender justice in the courts, in public policy, and in our society. Justice for her. Justice for all.

Dear John,

Women and families are struggling to make ends meet, and it’s not getting any easier with rising costs of food, rent, and child care. Last year, families received monthly Child Tax Credit (CTC) payments between July and December, but Congress allowed the expanded CTC to expire—making it harder for families to pay for necessities and putting 3.7 million children in poverty. Congress has one last chance to expand the Child Tax Credit before the end of the year. Will you take action now?

TAKE ACTION

Women and families shouldn’t need to decide whether to put food on the table or pay for medicine or the electric bill. Expanding the CTC would help the lowest-income families that need the support most, including to help pay for necessities like food, utilities, and rent.

An expanded CTC will help women take care of themselves and their families. We need Congress to include an expanded CTC in the next tax package. Take action now to help women and families who need it most.
