[ [link removed] ]MomsRising presents: 5Actions
Top #5Actions
of the Past Week
Thursday, July 15, 2021

We’ve got exciting news for you! Starting today (July 15th) 90% of
families around the country will start getting monthly checks of the newly
expanded Child Tax Credit (CTC). Thanks to the American Rescue Plan (ARP)
signed by President Biden in March, the Child Tax Credit has now been
expanded to reach more families--even if you've made little to no income
in the past year. This means more money for more families to raise their
kids and to boost the economy! How much money? Starting around July 15th,
the expanded Child Tax Credit will provide $300/month for each child under
the age of 6 and $250/month for each child age 6-17. That's a whole lot of
money!

We are dedicating this week’s #5actions to the Child Tax Credit. We are
here to answer all your questions about the CTC and provide ways for you
to help spread the word about this amazing program that will cut child
poverty in half! In addition, we need YOU to speak out for the CTC. Why?
Because unfortunately all the great improvements that have been made to
the CTC will go away after a year unless Congress takes immediate action
and makes it permanent. So join us in celebrating this amazing moment for
our families around the country but also save time to TAKE ACTION!

We have exciting news for you! Starting on July 15th, you could be getting
up to $300/month per child because of the expanded Child Tax Credit (CTC).
(If you've filed taxes in the past two years or received a stimulus check
you'll get this money automatically!). That’s some serious cash that will
do some serious good in helping our families make ends meet during this
difficult time. How much good? It will cut child poverty in half! But
unfortunately all the great improvements that have been made to the CTC
will go away after a year unless Congress takes immediate action and makes
it permanent.

[ [link removed] ]***We need YOU to take action! SIGN OUR LETTER and tell the U.S.
Congress to make the improvements to the Child Tax Credit permanent
immediately!



CALL your U.S. Senators and tell them “Make the expanded Child Tax Credit
permanent!”

Your fast phone calls are needed! Today is a big day and we want to make
our voices heard loud and clear on Capitol Hill! Join our Child Tax Credit
National Call-In Day and call your U.S. Senators to let them know that you
want them to make the expansion of the Child Tax Credit permanent. Leaders
in Congress are building upon President Biden’s American Families Plan and
moving a recovery package through Congress as we speak. Making the
improvements to the Child Tax Credit permanent is a big priority for
families so we need you to call your Senators right now to apply the
pressure needed to guarantee our elected leaders prioritize the CTC in the
recovery package.

Text CTC to 747464 and we’ll connect you directly with your Senator’s
office. (If you call back a second time you will get your other Senator).

The expanded Child Tax Credit will provide monthly payments of $300/child
under 6 and $250/child aged 6-17. And for the first time ever, it is now
available to families who have made little to no income in the past year.
We know you might have a lot of questions, including on how to sign-up for
the CTC if you haven’t gotten it in the past.

[ [link removed] ]1.) Watch our video and then share it with your friends so they can

We want to hear from YOU about how your family plans to use the monthly
payments from the Child Tax Credit and how it will help your family make
ends meet! The expanded Child Tax Credit is a big deal, but unless
Congress takes immediate action, we'll only be able to get the monthly
payments for this year! We need your stories to convince our elected
leaders to make the expansion of the Child Tax Credit permanent. Your
stories make a BIG difference--we’ve been getting requests daily from
members of Congress wanting stories on how families around the U.S. are
using the CTC money.

[ [link removed] ]There is no time to waste — tell us how you and your family are
boosted by the newly expanded Child Tax Credit. (You can even share your
story anonymously.)
