Today, the U.S. House of Representatives is taking another critical step forward in bringing transformative change to children, women, and families. As House committees begin to work out details of the budget reconciliation package in a series of mark-up sessions, they are responding to the urgent need to invest boldly in our country’s economic recovery and secure a more equitable future for millions of families, children, women, young adults of color, and people with low incomes.
