Child Tax Credit Popular Across Parties, Reinstate Now!
URGENT ACTION ALERT: The Child Tax Credit is Popular! Voters: Independent, Republican, Democrats Call for Expansion of the Child Tax Credit
Or in this holiday season will Members of Congress gift poverty to millions of children?

Child poverty fell to 5.2%, the lowest rate on record.
