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.

In solidarity,
