In case you missed it...this week the Voices for Human Needs blog reports on a letter signed by CHN and 352 other groups urging Congress to pass a full-year appropriations bill, in light of underfunded human needs concerns across a wide array of program areas And we covered CTC/EITC Day of Action, from the White House to the U.S. Capitol to cities across the country.

It was all a part of the “Unbearable Campaign,” with the message being that allowing millions of American families to slip into poverty without the expanded CTC benefit is, well, unbearable.
