[ [link removed] ]MomsRising presents: 5Actions
Top #5Actions
of the Past Week
Saturday, August 14, 2021
We are on the edge of making major history together! In breaking news, key
care infrastructure components have moved forward this week in the U.S.
Senate (including childcare for all and universal paid/family leave)
propelled by voices like yours! THANK YOU! Now, we need to move these same
policies forward in the US House.
So this week we have #5Actions for you to take that keep building the
momentum to help make that happen – including helping us drop off stories
at your local Congressional offices (a powerful way to make a big impact
that doesn’t take a ton of time). We also have actions on passing the
wealth tax, supporting a stronger minimum wage, and boosting the expanded
Child Tax Credit.
Thank you for all you do to help families!

How does the Child Tax Credit help your family?

The second round of the newly expanded Child Tax Credit checks should be
landing in your bank account (or mailed to you) in the next day or so. As
a reminder, 90% of families qualify for this amazing tax credit and you
could be getting up to $300/child each month. We have lots of information
for you about the Child Tax Credit (including how to sign up if you are
not already getting it) on our [ [link removed] ]CTC website.
But we also want to hear from YOU about how the Child Tax Credit is
helping your family. 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.
(You can even share anonymously).

by the newly expanded Child Tax Credit.

This free button is for moms and family members ready to take action over
Congressional summer recess to help make once-in-a-generation change! .
We’re fighting for Congress to finally build a care economy, including
childcare for all, universal paid family/medical leave, making permanent
the expanded Child Tax Credit, and other policies families and businesses
need to recover from the pandemic and thrive moving forward. And… we’re on
the edge of winning these policies, but we need your extra help to get
across the finish line! MomsRising is mobilizing thousands of volunteers
across the country to deliver storybooks to a nearby office of their U.S.
House or Senate member.
[ [link removed] ]Sign up to drop off MomsRising’s Care Economy storybook at the local,
in-district constituent office of one of your Congressional
representatives before Labor Day. We’ll mail you the storybook to deliver
and the button for you to wear during your drop off. So EASY!

Why are investments in our care infrastructure important to your family?
Right now, moms and families in America face a wholly inadequate care
infrastructure including: a lack of national universal policies relating
to childcare, paid family and medical leave, living wages for care
workers, home and community-based services, permanent improvements to the
Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit, access to unbiased health
care and reproductive services, and a path to citizenship for immigrants,
many of whom are caregivers.

infrastructure is important for your family! – or click [ [link removed] ]here to watch
some videos for inspiration!

A living wage for all workers and families!

We have a wage shortage on our hands, across the nation. Maybe you know
this firsthand when you crunch numbers in your head to budget for food and
rent, or maybe you’ve noticed that many businesses are having a difficult
time finding, hiring and maintaining staff that can afford to make the
minimum wage. It’s undeniable that the minimum wage has become a poverty
wage instead of an anti-poverty wage.

to our letter asking Congress to PASS the Raise the Wage Act!

Tell Congress: Pass Senator Warren's Wealth Tax NOW

Jeff Bezos, the richest man in the world, took a 10 minute joyride into
space which he was able to self-fund partially because he paid zero
federal income taxes in 2007 and 2011. And while his wealth grew by $99
billion from 2014 to 2018, he paid just $973 million in federal income
taxes. If Senator Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax was implemented though,
Bezos would have owed $5.7 billion in taxes in 2020. It’s time for the
ultra-wealthy to pay their fair share!

Tax!
