Friends,

A few weeks ago, the second round of Child Tax Credit payments were issued to parents in Rhode Island and across the country. These payments provide historic relief for so many families who have faced indescribable hardship over the course of this pandemic.

The August installment of the newly expanded Child Tax Credit benefits 61 million children and their families, lifting millions of children out of poverty.

But without action, this historic legislation will expire at the end of the year. We have a proven opportunity to lift millions of families out of poverty, team. Will you add your name to this petition to make the expansion of the Child Tax Credit permanent?

The good news is that President Biden has included the expanded Child Tax Credit in his American Jobs Plan, so the only step left is to urge Congress to include this provision in the budget reconciliation process taking place right now.

The negotiation process is taking place right now, team. Add your name to urge Congress to make the Child Tax Credit expansion permanent.
