Dear Friend,

BIG NEWS! The U.S. House of Representatives just passed sweeping
legislation that would boost families and our economy in ways not seen
since the New Deal -- including ensuring that the expanded Child Tax
Credit that families have been receiving since this summer continues on
and more (See the list below)! Now, it’s up to the Senate to do their job
quickly because if they don’t act by the end of the year, families who
need it the most will lose their monthly CTC payment on December 31st. 

[ [link removed] ]Join us now as we near the end of the year in a season of reflection,
gratitude, and resolve to say THANK YOU to your Representatives in the
House for standing up for families by passing Build Back Better!  When you
click to take action, you’ll also remind the Senate that we are counting
on them to act this month to pass Build Back Better through the Senate in
order to advance the below listed policies and ensure families continue
receiving the Child Tax Credit!

What just happened? The U.S. House of Representatives just passed the
Build Back Better legislation that: 

* Cuts child care costs in half for most families,
* Provides four weeks of paid family/medical leave,
* Makes preschool free for three- and four-year-olds,
* Expands access to home-based services for older Americans and
people with disabilities,
* Reduces the number of children living in poverty by extending the
expanded Child Tax Credit,
* Improves access to health care,
* Cuts the cost of prescription medications,
* Helps end our country’s Black maternal health crisis,
* Raises wages for care workers, and
* Provides lasting protections for those in our immigrant
communities.

This is huge!  

Now, the next step is making sure Build Back Better is passed by the
Senate before the end of the year! This would put in place
family-supportive policies AND quite literally keeps money in the pocket
of families who need it most. 

[ [link removed] ]Let’s keep up the MOMentum!  Tell House Representatives THANK YOU (!!)
for passing Build Back Better and urge your Senators to pass it too before
the monthly Child Tax Credit ends on December 31st!  

Expanded child tax credits can reduce child poverty by fifty percent. [1] 
But these incredible boosts for families passed under the American Rescue
Plan end this month unless the Senate acts soon. [ [link removed] ] So please take a
moment now to thank your Representatives in the House for using their
leadership to support families, and tell your Senators to step up for
families and pass Build Back Better before the end of the year! 

It’s not every day that Congress takes bold action that supports families
like yours and mine -- let’s send them a note of gratitude to thank them
for their important action and keep up the momentum for this life-changing
legislation. The truth is, Build Back Better is full of amazing things for
families that allow them to thrive: the improved Child Tax Credit, Paid
Family and Medical Leave, affordable child care, universal pre-k, home-
and community-based care, and MORE! That is the kind of change we need,
and we need it before the clock runs out.

[ [link removed] ]The U.S. House of Representatives demonstrated the leadership that
families across the country need and deserve, they showed up and showed us
that we can do the right thing. Now is time for the Senate to do the same!

As we reflect on this past year about the things we are grateful for and
resolve to change for new year to come, please share this action link on
social media and with friends and family so we all can not only thank the
U.S. House but also move our whole nation forward by urging the U.S.
Senate to do the same! 

Together we are a powerful force for children and families,

Lauren, Donna, Hanna, Kristin, and the entire MomsRising.org/MamásConPoder
