Jack, sign the petition to the U.S. Senate: Reduce child poverty. Expand the Child Tax Credit.

SIGN THE PETITION
The U.S. House has just passed a bipartisan tax plan that includes an expansion of the Child Tax Credit. This is our opportunity to help a huge proportion of America’s children and their families. Currently, 19 million children are excluded from some or all of the Child Tax Credit because their families do not earn enough to qualify for it. Expanding the Child Tax Credit could help remedy this–lifting hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty and helping millions of American families.

This legislation will now go to the Senate. We are calling on the Senate to pass this legislation and get it to President Biden’s desk so we can expand the Child Tax Credit.

Sign the petition to the U.S. Senate: Reduce child poverty. Expand the Child Tax Credit.

SIGN THE PETITION
While this expanded tax credit is less robust than the one passed in 2021, it will increase the Child Tax Credit for 80% of low-income families who do not currently receive the full credit.

We see this legislation as a step towards helping families struggling to meet basic needs; it is likely our best opportunity this year to boost the incomes of millions of families and reduce child poverty. We need to get this passed in the Senate.

Sign the petition to the U.S. Senate: Reduce child poverty. Expand the Child Tax Credit.

Thanks for all you do,
