Thank you to everyone who helped to make the EA Day of Action on the Child Tax Credit a success.
At MCC, we believe that everyone should have the ability to provide for and care for their family and the expanded Child Tax Credit does just that! It is good for children, good for families, good for businesses, and good for New York’s recovery. Unless Congress takes action, the expanded Child Tax Credit will expire at the end of the year. You can help to expand the Child Tax Credit by calling and emailing President Biden and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer to tell them you want the Child Tax Credit saved.
From Our Partners: The NY Council on Children and Families
