Dear Friend,
I know you just picked out your pumpkins and the leaves are still falling
but I’m already thinking about the end of the year.
Why? Because we have an incredible opportunity to create real bipartisan
change and provide millions of families with some desperately needed
cash—but we need YOU and CONGRESS to make it happen!

Child Tax Credit by the end of the year!
Here’s what’s going on: Negotiations have already begun for a major
end-of-the-year tax package. This is a huge opportunity for us to create
real change for our families and once again get a much needed expansion of
the Child Tax Credit. As you may remember as part of the American Rescue
Plan last year, we were able to secure monthly Child Tax Credit checks
sent to 40 million U.S. families. [1] Those checks are responsible for
reducing child poverty by half last year—so we know this is a policy that
works! [ [link removed] ]
This is our opportunity to demand that Congress take care of the
unfinished business of providing an expansion of the Child Tax Credit for
our families. A bipartisan tax package would require 60 votes in the U.S.
Senate, meaning that at least 10 Republicans would need to support it
without any Democratic defections. But we are so very close to having the
numbers to pass this policy—more and more Republicans are starting to see
just how important the Child Tax Credit is to our families. We just need
to keep pushing them so it’s a top priority for the end of the year!
The time to raise our voices is now!

Tax Credit by the end of the year!
Cutting the child poverty rate almost in half was a major step forward in
helping our families during a tough economic time. But unless Congress
acts soon–by the end of the year–all that progress will go away. Plus you
and I both know how critical the Child Tax Credit checks are for our
families. We heard from thousands of you who said you used it to pay for
childcare, buy groceries, medicine, and clothes for your family, pay the
rent, afterschool programs for your kids, back-to-school supplies, and so
much more! We can’t go back on that progress nor on our promise to our
children to create a brighter future for them.

then forward this email to your friends and family so they can sign as
well. We’ve created enough momentum to pass a historic expansion of the
Child Tax Credit before, we can do it again!
