Dear John,
We have a rare opportunity to make transformational progress toward ending childhood hunger and poverty, and we need your help.
Three provisions of President Biden’s Build Back Better plan would together represent a giant step toward making no kid hungry a reality.
|
URGENT: Tell Congress to preserve the parts of Build Back Better aimed at reducing childhood poverty and hunger.
|
Congress and the White House are in the final stages of negotiating the final form of Build Back Better. Your voice will help keep the focus on children and families in need.
The three provisions would:
- Cut through bureaucratic red tape and open the way for schools to provide free school meals to 9 million more children in need.
- Expand the Summer EBT program to all 50 states so more kids can get the nutrition they need during the especially hungry summer months when school is out.
- Extend the expanded Child Tax Credit, which provides funds that help families with necessities like diapers, child care, rent and other basic needs. This measure alone could cut childhood poverty by more than 40 percent!
John, these measures represent a once in a generation opportunity to set our nation on track to end childhood hinger once and for all. Please help hungry children by telling Congress this is an opportunity we simply cannot afford to lose.
Thanks for all you do to make no kid hungry a reality.
