Dear John,
Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) envisions a nation where marginalized children flourish, leaders prioritize their well-being, and communities wield the power to ensure they thrive. Please join me in urging the Senate to pass H.R. 7024, the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act.
H.R. 7024 marks a significant Child Tax Credit expansion tailored to support families. This initiative is projected to benefit nearly 16 million low-income children, potentially lifting 400,000 out of poverty within the first year alone and sparking economic mobility in Black and Brown communities nationwide.
Despite passing the House with a vote of 350-70 on January 31, H.R. 7024 is currently stalled in the Senate.
I urge you to join forces with CDF and a diverse coalition of organizations to advocate for the swift passage of this crucial legislation, especially concerning the Child Tax Credit.
Time is of the essence, particularly in an election year when the opportunity for substantial legislative action is rapidly diminishing. Please contact your Senator and urge them to vote for H.R. 7024 upon their return from recess.
At CDF, we promise that every young person will launch from a permanent, nurturing home and fulfill the dream of doing better than their family. Expanding the Child Tax Credit represents a significant step toward realizing this promise. Join me to ensure this opportunity for a brighter future is extended to the children and youth under our care.
Let us advocate for progress and pave the way for a better tomorrow.
