Save the Children Action Network is the political voice for kids. 

John, growing up in poverty is devastating.  

Imagine a childhood without safe housing, nutritious food or learning opportunities.  

11 million kids across the U.S. are facing that reality right now. But Congress has a BIG chance to change it.  

Tell your lawmakers to expand the Child Tax Credit – because child poverty is a policy choice.

11 million kids across the U.S. are living in poverty. Congress has the power to help them – and we need advocates like YOU to fight for it.

Big news, John: 

Congress is voting on a policy that would help end child poverty.  

This proposal would expand the Child Tax Credit (CTC), which supports struggling families nationwide. If it passes, more parents will be able to afford essentials – and more kids will grow up with safe housing, nutritious food and critical learning opportunities.   

Tell Congress: We can’t waste this chance to change children’s lives.  

Child poverty is a policy choice… and this one is a no-brainer. In 2021, expanding the CTC cut child poverty in HALF!  

But those improvements expired, pushing families back into poverty. When lawmakers let all that progress slip away, child poverty rates nearly DOUBLED. 

Expanding the CTC works, John. This time, it’d reach 16 million children from low-income backgrounds – lifting half a million out of poverty by next year.  

Let’s make sure this proposal passes. Please, send a message today. 

Thanks for being a voice for kids,

Christy Gleason
