Become a grassroots co-signer of my new bill, the End Child Poverty Act,
which would dramatically cut child poverty by providing families with a
universal benefit from children’s birth through their teenage years.

John,



The People’s Policy Project calls my new bill “by far the best child
allowance proposal introduced in Congress.”^1

Last year, when Congress expanded the Child Tax Credit to be available to
all families with young kids, we cut child poverty by 40%. We made an
incredible difference in the lives of millions of families!

But, as the U.S. Senate has failed to extend the expanded Child Tax
Credit, millions of low- and no-income families are at risk of falling
back into poverty. My new bill, the End Child Poverty Act, would replace
the Child Tax Credit and cover all children, including the lowest-wealth
families who are traditionally left out of the tax credit system.

This new legislation would create a universal, monthly child allowance of
nearly $400 per child. Since each child will be automatically enrolled at
birth when they apply for their Social Security Number, there is no need
for annual paperwork. This benefit will simply continue every month until
a child’s 19th birthday, ensuring that families and children have an
opportunity to thrive.

Programs like the End Child Poverty Act have been a proven success in
countries like Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland, which have some of
the lowest childhood poverty rates in the world. The People’s Policy
Project estimates that this bill would cut child poverty by 64% and cut
deep child poverty by 70%.

The pandemic has exposed systemic inequities in our society, with
billionaires getting wealthier as poorer people are falling further
behind. So many people already lived paycheck-to-paycheck even before the
pandemic. But many of my colleagues in Congress don't understand that
urgency. That's why we've got to demonstrate public support for this new
legislation!

co-signer of my new bill, the End Child Poverty Act, today?

Together, let’s create a future where every child has the opportunity to
thrive.

Thank you,
