[A New Deal for Youth @NewDeal4Youth]

We're proud to announce that @RepMcGarvey's Young Adult Tax Credit Act is #NewDealForYouth Approved!

This bill will give $500 a month to people ages 18-24, ensuring young people can pay for rent, groceries, and other basic necessities of life.

How would you spend $500 a month?

Thank you Sens. @PattyMurray, @JohnBoozman and Rep. @CathyMcmorris for bipartisan work to make April the #MonthoftheMilitaryChild and naming "positive youth development" as a key need.

Thanks to the @CenterOnBudget for framing the important challenge before us. We must not cut what works, especially for our children, young people & families.

[Center on Budget @CenterOnBudget]

Pre-#PresidentsBudget reading: policymakers are likely to engage in major battles over funding non-defense programs this year.

Our new paper explains what those programs are, and why they shouldn't be cut.
