John,

One of the most substantial accomplishments of President Biden's first year in office is this: families of over 60 million children are receiving monthly Child Tax Credit (CTC) payments worth between $250 to $300 per child. That is a direct result of legislation passed by Democrats last spring and signed into law by President Biden.

Those funds are making a tremendous difference in the lives of tens of millions of American families, cutting childhood poverty nearly in half. In order to continue those monthly payments beyond this month, we need the Senate to act!

Join CHN and our national partners today to demand the Senate pass the Build Back Better Act now so essential Child Tax Credits are not cut off.

Ending these monthly payments couldn’t come at a worse time—immediately after the holidays and just as winter heating bills are kicking in for much of the country.

If no action is taken, the Child Tax Credit will be slashed—and eliminated for the very poorest families. And once again, families won’t receive any funds until months later after they file their annual tax returns.

Send a message directly to your U.S. senators today and demand they pass the Build Back Better Act this year so families aren’t cut off from monthly CTC payments starting in January.

The Build Back Better Act will keep these enhanced payments going for an additional year—funded by finally making the wealthy and corporations pay a fairer share of taxes. If the Senate fails to act, nearly 10 million children could fall back into poverty or become more deeply poor.

Thank you for all you do to demand accountability from our political leaders and to strengthen our democracy to fight for the needs of working families, the vulnerable, the sick and the poor.
