Last week, working families began to receive monthly payments from a significantly expanded Child Tax Credit that I was proud to support as part of the American Rescue Plan.

According to Columbia University's Center on Poverty and Social Policy, these payments could help lift five million children out of poverty — reducing the overall rate of child poverty by 50%.

These expanded payments are a game changer, but they are currently only temporary. Add your name here if you agree that expanded Child Tax Credit payments should become permanent!

35 million households, representing 88% of families with children, will receive monthly payments of up to $300 per child.

1.9 million families in New York alone will get the payment, and it will make a significant difference for families on the edge of poverty.

That’s why it’s so important we build on the momentum of the American Rescue Plan and take action to make expanded tax credits permanent. Sign here to stand with me!

Onward,
