The biggest direct cash investment in families since the Great Depression is happening right now. But a full 59 percent of American women don't know that they can get the direct payment benefits in the American Rescue Plan (ARP), which was just passed by Congress and includes up to $3,600 per kid 0-5 and $3,000 per kid 6-17 per year that can go directly into their bank accounts.

So we’re getting the word out to YOU and to your friends about how to get this money! Did you know that the best way to claim this credit and cash is for people to file their taxes by May 17 even if they earned zero or very low income and don’t normally file taxes? Most people don’t! That’s why we want to get you the info about how to get these funds; and also why we need your help getting the word out to your friends.

*The #CareCantWait Campaign, MomsRising (that’s us!), United State of Women, TimesUp and Caring Across Generations have joined together to create this online how-to and spread-the-word event with America Ferrera and Alyssa Milano.

Smart and adorable kids will be asking the questions, and White House Director of the U.S. Domestic Policy Council Susan Rice, U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown, U.S. Representative Suzan Delbene, U.S. Representative Judy Chu, and U.S. Representative Jamaal Bowman will be providing the answers on everything from how to get these funds and how to file your taxes for free to exactly how much cash you could be getting from the Child Tax Credit.

WHY: To encourage women and families to claim their Child Tax Credit funds by filing their taxes by May 17, even if they don’t normally file taxes because they earn zero or little income.

We know that together we can get out the word in a big way that people need to file their taxes by Monday, May 17, in order to get the direct payment of the Child Tax Credit (CTC) of $3,600 per child 0-5 and $3,000 per child 6-17.
