The House of Representatives approved an expansion of the Child Tax Credit as part of a $78 billion tax package, which passed with broad bipartisan support in a vote of 357 to 70. Now, the Senate must act quickly to pass this bill, which would provide critical support to millions of families facing poverty and hunger. If passed, this would help 16 million children whose families are currently ineligible for this federal assistance. While we continue to push for stronger and longer-term policy solutions to address hunger, the Child Tax Credit is a proven and powerful tool to lift families out of poverty. The Senate must pass the Wyden-Smith tax plan as an important step forward. Please join MAZON in action today.
