This holiday season, corporate lobbyists are pressing Congress for a
massive tax break while they rake in record profits that are driving up
inflation.
Meanwhile, millions of children in the United States are living in poverty
and families are struggling to pay rent and put food on the table in the
face of rising costs.
Before considering tax breaks for the biggest corporations, Congress
should help families across the country by renewing the Child Tax Credit
and the Earned Income Tax Credit.
[ [link removed] ]SIGN ON TO ADD YOUR VOICE: "We strongly urge Congress to put children
first by extending the monthly Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax
Credit which lapsed last year. Corporations shouldn’t get any special tax
breaks while families are left behind."
We are speaking daily with progressive leaders in Congress about this
issue and will share public support for this petition so they can keep
their colleagues informed.
The Child Tax Credit monthly payments kept 3.7 million children from
poverty and reduced child poverty by 30 percent. The expanded Earned
Income Tax Credit helped about 17 million workers receive an average of
$700 more than under the previous credit. These policies will help
millions of people across this country and are popular across partisan
lines.
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal and nearly 60 progressives in Congress are
urging Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to insist
that Democrats stand strong against corporate tax giveaways in must-pass
year-end bills unless Republicans agree to pair them with help for
children and families.

corporate tax breaks, SIGN ON HERE.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
