Yesterday marked the 6th drop of @POTUS’ monthly #ChildTaxCredit. This much-needed credit has improved the lives of families across the country, and has undoubtedly impacted women and women of color for the better. Here are two stories, from mothers in #Florida and #Indiana:
“Those who are struggling the most to get by and who face the highest burdens, mostly women in communities of color, need all of these policies that work better together.” Read about Laurie and Topacio, both in Florida, in #ChangeWire: changewire.org/2021/10/29/the…
In Indiana, Eva talks about being a low-income mom: “What’s often overlooked as not a big deal – like dance classes for my daughter. Things like that... that support our children in the long run, are really big deals [for] families in poverty.” indianapublicradio.org/news/2021/11/a…
In addition to the #CTC, the investments in the care economy in #BuildBackBetter would be a major step towards repairing the harm that's been done to women - especially women of color- by decades of unjust govt policies.
We can’t stop now. It's time for Dems to #PassTheDamnBill.
