Only 4 minutes in, and the #ChildTaxCredit has already been mentioned-- I love it! The expanded #CTC helps parents afford essentials like bills, food and groceries, and rent or mortgage payments. Read more from our @CLASP_DC research: #Debate2024 https://t.co/sBgJki920U

Disappointing to see 44 senators block this bill to expand the #ChildTaxCredit from moving forward -- and I know many @Voice4HumanNeed members feel the same.
The vote tally should be posted shortly here: https://t.co/sTGC0fA3Zs

In 2025 let us push for a full restoration of the 2021 Child Tax Credit.

[Chuck Marr @ChuckCBPP]

In the coming year, policymakers must continue to prioritize expanding the #ChildTaxCredit so the millions of children being left behind because their families’ incomes are too low have a chance to thrive.

[Chuck Marr @ChuckCBPP]

Today, the Senate failed to pass the bipartisan, House-passed #ChildTaxCredit expansion. By voting to block it, most Senate Rs rejected the chance to help 16m children in low-income families & lift 500k children above the poverty line. Kids deserve better.

[Coalition on Human Needs @Voice4HumanNeed]

The majority of American voters support the #ChildTaxCredit—yet 44 Senators just voted against expanding it for 16M children. A vote against the #CTC is a vote against working families struggling to pay for groceries and rent.

[Alliance To End Hunger @toendhunger]

Limits on emergency food and other benefits to deserving individuals and families are way too burdensome. Fortunately the ASSET Act–introduced by Sens @ChrisCoons & @SenSherrodBrown–would help ensure those across the country get what they need to thrive. https://t.co/PS0weQS3Ma

[RESULTS Virginia @ResultsVirginia]

The fully refundable 2021 #childtaxcredit is peanuts compared to this. Time to help American families and make billionaires pay their fair share of taxes.

[Americans For Tax Fairness @4TaxFairness]

BREAKING: Billionaire wealth in America has officially hit a record $6 TRILLION.

Billionaires are now $3 trillion richer than they were before the Trump tax scam—and 9x richer than they were in 2000.

Billionaires don't need more tax cuts. They need to pay their fair share.

[National Women's Law Center @nwlc]

"I don’t think billionaires need more tax cuts, but families definitely need more child care."

We'll be blasting this reponse from @FGossGraves to @SenWarren on repeat from now until the wealthiest and mega corporations finally pay their fair share!!

[Coalition on Human Needs @Voice4HumanNeed]

There are lots of challenges in our country at the moment. They should absolutely be discussed in the #Debates2024. According to @NLIHC #OOR24 report:
Low-wage workers can't afford rent in any U.S. state and the housing wage for a modest 2-BR apt is far above the minimum wage.
