Hey John,
Did you see our last email? This absolutely cannot wait. We need to call on the Senate to renew the Child Tax Credit or millions of families across the country will be at risk of sliding back into poverty. An extension could be the difference between families having to choose shelter over food and being able to provide for their young children. Suzan has been fighting for our children and families, but we need the Senate to act now. We cannot let those 3.8 million kids and their families down. Will you add your name to our petition calling on the Senate to do its job and renew the Child Tax Credit? We must fight for the families and children in need. >> Thank you for joining us in this fight, – Team DelBene ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Melissa Plummer Date: Thurs, Feb 10, 2022 Subject: January 15th marked the beginning of a return to poverty for many families across the country Hi John, For those struggling to make ends meet during this pandemic, January 15th marked the beginning of a return to poverty. This is happening because last year, the Senate failed to renew the Child Tax Credit expansion, and last month marked the first time in six months that 36 million families did not receive the monthly payments many of them needed to keep the lights on or put food on the table. When the expanded Child Tax Credit was first passed in the American Rescue Plan because of Suzan’s leadership, it put a major dent in inequality and lifted 3.8 million children out of poverty. We cannot let those 3.8 million kids down now. If the Senate fails to expand the Child Tax Credit, then we are failing the millions of children across the country whose lives and futures depend on it. So, will you join us in calling on the Senate to act NOW to renew this critical lifeline that our families depend on? >> We cannot emphasize enough how important the Child Tax Credit is. Since the start of the pandemic, children and families of color have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19, and those with low wages have been hit hardest by the resulting economic impact. These are the same families for whom — pandemic or no pandemic — every day can be a crisis. Families have relied on the payments of the expanded Child Tax Credit to feed, clothe and safely house their children. But no help came this past month because we let the expanded credit expire during an unprecedented surge in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations. Friends, will you join us in calling on our elected officials to renew the Child Tax Credit and continue to provide support for American families? Add your name to this petition and demand that the Senate renews the Child Tax Credit. >> Thank you for joining us in the fight for our families and communities. – Melissa Plummer |
