@dorianwarren @dbhargava68 Together with @ChildDefender, we started organizing for these wins 20 years ago.

And now on July 15, families across the country will start receiving support that will results in...

✅$3,600 per kiddo under 6 yrs
✅ $3,000 per kiddo age 6-17 yrs

🎉We cannot understate how much direct checks & cash payments mean for our communities (!!)

🥳Here's our family members @SPACEsInAction & @ladonlove celebrating on Tax Day earlier this year -- because we all deserve a piece of the pie!

♥️ Because the #ChildTaxCredits are changing the game.

♥️ Money in families pockets. Cutting child poverty in half.

♥️ We're for it, fam.

Yeah we're not kidding here.

The #ChildTaxCredit (h/t @POTUS) has the potential to cut child poverty in HALF folks.

Half.

Here's a dance we made to explain.
