CDF-NY Sign-On Letter to Reduce Child Poverty in Build Back Better Act (with Signatures)
As faith-based and child advocacy organizations from across New York, we write to you today to thank you for your strong leadership in bringing about the American Rescue Plan’s transformational expanded Child Tax Credit (CTC) – and to implore you to continue to center the needs of New York’s marginalized children and families by making the expanded CTC permanent, fully inclusive of all immigrant children and fully refundable in the final Build Back Better Act. Additionally, we ask that you support a final version of the Build Back Better Act that includes paid family and medical leave.

Children’s Defense Fund Responds to President Biden’s Build Back Better Framework
“President Biden’s framework brings us one step closer to a historic, essential, and long-overdue investment in our country’s children and families. We’re poised to boost families’ economic stability and reduce racial inequities in income, housing, education, and health care that harm Black and brown children every day. We appreciate the countless child advocates, parents, friends in the White House, and champions in Congress who have fought for decades to bring us to this point."
