The #AmericanRescuePlan is projected to cut child poverty in 1/2 & build racial equity, and the 1-yr expansion of the #ChildTaxCredit (CTC) accounts for the majority of its poverty-fighting power. Join us in calling for that investment to be permanent: https://t.co/DSeVmrhNxb
$50 billion pledged by corporations after the murder of George Floyd - "more than 90 percent of that amount — $45.2 billion — is allocated as loans or investments they could stand to profit from" Performative pledges are not enough @BreatheRev#ustrht https://t.co/RO1sPhPMmY
