Friends,
As more payments from the expanded Child Tax Credit payments come through, we continue to hear heartwarming stories about families who can breathe a little easier every month. We’ve also seen compelling stats that show the impact of the program:
 * 
   47%
   of
   households
   who
   received
   Child
   Tax
   Credit
   Payments
   reported
   spending
   it
   on
   food.
 * 
   The
   number
   of
   households
   with
   children
   reporting
   food
   insecurity
   has
   dropped
   from
   11%
   to
   8%.
 * 
   The
   number
   of
   families
   with
   children
   reporting
   that
   they
   sometimes
   or
   often
   did
   not
   have
   enough
   to
   eat
   decreased
   overall
   by
   24%
   —
   the
   lowest
   rate
   recorded
   since
   the
   beginning
   of
   the
   pandemic.
The statistics above are so much more than just numbers — they represent kids, families, and communities who are better off because of this policy.
These payments are transformational for hardworking families, and they wouldn't be possible without the Democratic House majority. Will you donate to protect the majority today? [[link removed]]

A few weeks ago, the second round of Child Tax Credit payments were issued to parents in Rhode Island and across the country. These payments provide historic relief for so many families who have faced indescribable hardship over the course of this pandemic.
The August installment of the newly expanded Child Tax Credit benefits 61 million children and their families, lifting millions of children out of poverty. [[link removed]]
But without action, this historic legislation will expire at the end of the year. We have a proven opportunity to lift millions of families out of poverty, team. Will you add your name to this petition to make the expansion of the Child Tax Credit permanent? [[link removed]]
SIGN ON [[link removed]]The good news is that President Biden has included the expanded Child Tax Credit in his American Jobs Plan, so the only step left is to urge Congress to include this provision in the budget reconciliation process taking place right now.
The negotiation process is taking place right now, team. Add your name to urge Congress to make the Child Tax Credit expansion permanent. [[link removed]]
Thanks for taking action, — Team Cicilline
