Statement: The Children’s Defense Fund Celebrates Passage of the American Rescue Plan Act, a Critical Down Payment on Ending Child Poverty

We believe this is crucial to our vision of a nation where marginalized children flourish, leaders prioritize their well-being, and communities wield the power to ensure they thrive.
