Thank you to @RepTonyCabral and @GarciaJudithMA for filing Amendment #247, which would continue to fund essential state SNAP benefits for thousands of legally present immigrant families who are set to lose these crucial nutritional benefits soon. #FeedingOurNeighborsMA #mapoli
We applaud the USDA's science based approach to updating the #WIC food package. @USDANutrition @NatWICAssoc nwica.org/press-releases…
There is amazing work happening in MA to expand tax credits to all working families. #taxcredits #EITC x.com/HealthyFamsTCC…

“Money works, it’s dignified, and it lifts your horizons.” @megansandel at Guaranteed Minimum Income event with @UnitedWayMABay #GMI
Today @megansandel is joining @UnitedWayMABay for an important discussion on guaranteed basic income and how it is a proven way to alleviate poverty and improve health. Guaranteed income can be the difference between barely surviving to thriving.
Residents in #Massachusetts can go to FindYourFunds.org to see what tax credits they're eligible for and whether they qualify for free help from a tax preparer! Make sure you receive all the credits you're eligible for, including the new #CFTC and expanded #EITC!
We're excited to announce the launch of the #MakeHungerHistoryMA coalition–a groundbreaking initiative reimagining a Massachusetts where hunger is a thing of the past– where everyone has access to the nourishing food they need to thrive. Join the movement: makehungerhistoryma.org

📣Today is the #ChildTaxCredit Day of Action! The bipartisan tax bill expands the #CTC for 16 million low income children and lifts up American families. 👨👩👦👦 Let's make sure Congress passes it! Send a letter to your Senator: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-t…
Every child deserves the chance to grow & thrive. The #ChildTaxCredit provides vital assistance as families face rising costs, and we know that it can lift millions of kids out of poverty. Send a letter to your Senator urging them to vote YES on the #CTC: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-t…
Our research shows the #ChildTaxCredit lowers food insufficiency, yet the expansion in the tax bill is in danger of being blocked in the Senate. That's unacceptable. There's still time to urge your Senator to vote YES on this vital bill. Send a letter: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-t…
An expanded #ChildTaxCredit could have a transformative effect on the lives of 16 million children, lifting them out of poverty and providing access to essential resources. cbpp.org/research/feder…
Our research shows advance #CTC payments promote family health. When parents aren't worried about affording necessities like rent, food, clothing, & utilities, their mental and physical health increases, and their kids tend to be healthier, too. Congress: pass the expanded CTC!
The Senate needs to listen to the American people and pass the tax deal NOW. It will expand the #ChildTaxCredit to 16M children and give families the support they need to thrive. Tell the Senate to expand the #CTC using @MomsRising tool: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-t…
The bipartisan #ChildTaxCredit expansion, which passed the House earlier this year but is stuck in the Senate, would expand the CTC for 16 million children in families with low incomes. @SenateDems @SenateGOP, pass the #CTC expansion! chn.org/voices/human-n… @Voice4HumanNeed

As President Biden highlighted the 2021 expansion of the Child Tax Credit was a tremendous success -- it led to a historic reduction in child poverty -- we need to reinstate that expansion and make it permanent:
One major priority this year should be passing the bipartisan, expanded #ChildTaxCredit. It would help 16 million children in low-income families. cbpp.org/research/feder…
Approximately 16M children will benefit from the #ChildTaxCredit expansion, including nearly 3M children under age 3. Once the expansion is in full effect, 500K children will be lifted out of poverty. We urge the Senate to expand the CTC. @POTUS #SOTU #CTC
.@POTUS during the #SOTU: the Child Tax Credit I passed cut taxes for millions of working families and cut child poverty in HALF.” Let’s bring the #ChildTaxCredit — the largest middle-class tax cut in a generation— back and make it permanent.
That's right- you heard @POTUS on #SOTU! To build a more productive and prosperous country that works for ALL families, we must solve the problems impacting the #childcare sector. #SOTU2024
From education to healthcare, children need our support. @POTUS, use the #SOTU to champion policies that put kids first! #InvestInKids firstfocus.org/news/press-rel…
As the top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, Sen Crapo has a lot of influence over whether Congress expands the #ChildTaxCredit this year. Keep emailing your senators! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-t… via @Voice4HumanNeed
Top Senate Finance Republican @MikeCrapo had this to say about GOP senators' willingness to punt renewal of a trio of business tax credits to 2025 w/o changes to the $79B tax deal: “If your question is, am I looking to push it down to next year? No, I'd like to get it resolved.”
