Dear John, Today, millions of families across the U.S. could receive their last monthly payment under the expanded Child Tax Credit. These payments have slashed child poverty—and allowed families to make ends meet in this pandemic and pay for necessities like food, housing, and utilities.
But after today, this vital assistance could be ripped away—unless the Senate passes the Build Back Better bill immediately.
The Build Back Better bill is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform our social safety net. In addition to the Child Tax Credit, the bill makes major investments in paid family and medical leave as well as addressing climate change. If strengthened, the measure could also provide permanent protections for undocumented immigrants across the country. Thank you for taking action.
In peace,
Peniel Ibe AFSC Policy Engagement Coordinator
