Congress returned to Washington this week to engage in the people's business for a five-week stretch leading up to Memorial Day. This is a critical period as most political insiders think if a deal is going to be made to continue President Biden's enhanced Child Tax Credit from 2021, it must come together in the coming weeks before summer recesses and 2022 election campaigning kick into full gear.
Now is the time to make your voices heard.
You've heard of the filibuster, the Senate rule that allows a single senator to block legislation from even being considered for a vote. Well, our friends at MomsRising have organized a counteraction to the inaction of the filibuster. The 2022 Momibuster will collect the voices of mothers and parents and caregivers of all varieties to make clear the need to pass a care package that includes the enhanced Child Tax Credit.
With just over six months remaining until the 2022 elections and control of both houses of Congress in the balance, now is the time to demand legislation that benefits everyday families in America. We have waited for over 40-years for tax cuts for the rich to trickle down to the rest of us, and we can wait no longer. As one voice, we must speak until members of Congress hear us and pass a care package that includes the enhanced Child Tax Credit.
