The expanded #ChildTaxCredit reduced child poverty by more than 25% - lifting 3.4 million children out of poverty. But families lost this critical support when Congress failed to extend the credit in December. https://t.co/9YzbVii4U9 #lalege #lagov

91% of Louisiana households with incomes below $35,000 used their #ChildTaxCredit payments for basic needs such as food, clothing, rent, mortgage, and utilities. #lasen #lagov

[Center on Budget @CenterOnBudget]

~40% of low-income families used the #ChildTaxCredit to fund their children's education—purchasing books, supplies, tuition, & more.

As expenses rise, #CTC payments are essential to get families what they need for their children’s academic success.

This needs to bring the drift to a halt. We saw the success-- a potential game-changer for millions of kids. Now we see what happens if Congress turns its back on these kids. It's time for the Senate to see these kids & pass an extension of the expansion of the Child Tax Credit

[Invest in Louisiana @InvestLAA]

The expanded #ChildTaxCredit payments, offer a new chance to right old wrongs and should be a part of any compromised #BuildBackBetter deal worked out in Congress. https://t.co/N2dCBcr9bs #lalege #lagov

Hi @Sen_JoeManchin HEAR ME OUT. SO LIKE, WHAT IF THERE WAS SOME SORT OF MONTHLY PAYMENT. THAT WAS LIKE A CREDIT... YA KNOW?? THAT FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN COULD USE TO HELP PAY FOR EVERYDAY EXPENSES ... LET'S CALL IT... IDK... THE CHILD TAX CREDIT????

[Chad Stone @Econ_Cfs]

Thread: Another inflation report & another chance to remind critics that recent inflation does not justify opposition to the Child Tax Credit expansion and investments to reduce child #poverty, boost opportunity & productivity, advance racial equity, & fight climate change. 1/6

#GreatReads from @LauraSanthanam: For millions of families, the few hundred dollars a month they received last year through the #ChildTaxCredit payments was the difference between having enough food to eat or going hungry.

Here's a historical reminder not to give up - now is the time to act on the Child Tax Credit and put it into the history books:

The #ChildTaxCredit is too effective at fighting poverty for Congress to let it fail. The consequences would be dire.

[Invest in Louisiana @InvestLAA]

The expanded #ChildTaxCredit (briefly) slashed poverty, but millions of children are at risk of slipping back below the poverty line or deeper into poverty unless Congress acts.

[Center on Budget @CenterOnBudget]

We know how to make a dent in the challenges families face.

#BuildBackBetter includes investments, backed by research, that build on successful efforts, including strengthening the #ChildTaxCredit & expanding health coverage.

[Invest in Louisiana @InvestLAA]

With #BuildBackBetter stalled in the Senate, it’s important to recognize the consequences of not passing this crucial legislation, which includes the expanded #ChildTaxCredit.

[Invest in Louisiana @InvestLAA]

Without the expanded #ChildTaxCredit, 187,000 Louisiana children are at risk of slipping back below the poverty line or deeper into poverty. https://t.co/lRdxjPhIsa

[Elaine Maag @ElaineMaag]

People need help and we have the power to help them. A fully refundable #ChildTaxCredit helps children.

"As these numbers show, parents weren’t squandering these [Child Tax Credit] payments on luxuries. They used them to live less precariously."

.@ElaineMaag to @politico @adamcancryn on the expiration of the enhanced child tax credit provisions: “It sort of shows having people live in poverty is a policy choice." https://t.co/fIs4Qud4jr
