Friends,

As more payments from the expanded Child Tax Credit payments come through, we continue to hear heartwarming stories about families who can breathe a little easier every month. We’ve also seen compelling stats that show the impact of the program:

• 47% of households who received Child Tax Credit Payments reported spending it on food.
• The number of households with children reporting food insecurity has dropped from 11% to 8%.
• The number of families with children reporting that they sometimes or often did not have enough to eat decreased overall by 24% — the lowest rate recorded since the beginning of the pandemic.

The statistics above are so much more than just numbers — they represent kids, families, and communities who are better off because of this policy. 

These payments are transformational for hardworking families, and they wouldn't be possible without the Democratic House majority. Will you donate to protect the majority today?

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.
