Hi,

A bipartisan tax package that would expand the Child Tax Credit (CTC) is
currently waiting on a vote from the Senate. This bill would go a long way
toward alleviating child poverty. But some Senators are hellbent on
blocking the bill.

Why don’t they want this tax package to go through? Too many lawmakers
prioritize corporate handouts and ultra-wealthy campaign donors over the
needs of working Americans. Too many lawmakers are prioritizing politics
over the well-being of children and families.

reject attacks on low-income families.

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Child Tax Credit was
expanded to provide relief to more families. The results were nothing
short of amazing: it reduced food insufficiency by 11% and lifted 3
million children out of poverty. The benefits especially helped Black and
Latino households.^1

Despite these incredible figures, some Senators refuse to expand the CTC.
It’s why we’re holding them accountable.
