It was great to be on the #SpeakingOfKids podcast with @First_Focus! I emphasized that Congress needs to hear your story so they know what it means for your child to have a healthy meal at school or access to affordable child care.
"Stop denying another core value of America our diversity across American life — Banning books. It’s wrong! Instead of erasing history, let’s make history!" Join us & fight against school censorship, sign up for the Alliance for Student Liberty firstfocus.org/alliance-for-s… #SOTU
The expansion of the #ChildTaxCredit in 2021 reduced child poverty to a historic low & addressed racial disparities in access — when Congress allowed it to expire, child poverty more than doubled. During the #SOTU, let’s re-commit to #EndChildPoverty! #InvestInKids
The Child Tax Credit expansion helps 16 million children in families w/ low earnings, lifts 500,000 above the poverty line & is paid for. A mom who has two children and earns $18,000 working as a home health worker will gain $1,275 under the bill this year. #SOTU #InvestInKids
"Restore the #ChildTaxCredit because no child should go hungry in this country!"-@POTUS during #SOTU2024 YES! #InvestInKids
Since the last #SOTU, we’ve seen a surge in labor organizing efforts yet virtually no increase in union membership. Harsh truth persists: even with such job growth, countless hardworking individuals continue to lack the collective bargaining power they deserve. #StateOfTheUnion

Hungry kids can’t learn. Hungry families can’t thrive. Providing access to food is one of the fundamental services we should give to all families, yet access to food is too often on the chopping block. That’s why I asked AG Secretary Vilsack to ensure NM families have access to…
By placing children at the center of tonight's #SOTU address, @POTUS can signal his a priority to #InvestInKIds and urge Congress to make children their focus over the next few weeks as they consider spending bills.
Child advocates will be LIVE tweeting during the #SOTU! Follow along and urge @POTUS & Congress to #InvestInKids! Our kids deserve the opportunity to thrive
We’re hopeful that @POTUS will use this #SOTU address to highlight the realities our children face & to reaffirm his commitment to creating a world in which all children can lead healthy, safe, & happy lives that offer them the opportunity to thrive. firstfocus.org/news/press-rel…
