John,

Yesterday, the House of Representatives passed the Build Back Better Act. Thank you to all the advocates who took action on this critical legislation. It now moves to the Senate, and we need everyone to take action.

The Build Back Better Act is a once-in-a-generation plan that truly puts America’s most marginalized children and families first and advances racial equity.

Contact your Senators right now and tell them to support President Biden’s Build Back Better Act.

The Build Back Better Act has the potential to be truly game-changing for families. It would:

• Extend the expanded Child Tax Credit that is putting cash in the hands of lower-income families monthly and ensuring even more children have access;
• Invest in preventing eviction and homelessness;
• Extend free school meals to 9 million more children;
• Expand affordable health coverage;
• Establish universal paid leave;
• Guarantee access to free, high-quality preschool; and
• Much more!

We urgently need your help to ensure this passes, John. Contact your Senators right now and urge them to pass the Build Back Better Act now as an investment in America’s children and families.

Yours in action,

The Children’s Defense Fund
