🍼The Child Tax Credit's Return on Investment💵 $3.6k per year for children under age 6 & $3k for older kids, paid in monthly installments. Center on Poverty & Social Policy (CPSP) found that for every $1 dollar spent on CTC, it returns $10 in economic benefits. (1/4)🧵

Great piece from Megan Curran. In case you forgot, we cut child poverty in half in 2021. Food insecurity dropped by 25%. Parents stopped selling blood plasma. Children's emergency room visits went down. People could afford the basics. We can do it again. newsweek.com/kamala-harris-…

I’m not sure if there’s a more necessary federal policy discussion than the permanent expansion of the child tax credit. Read Megan Curran’s piece for Newsweek: newsweek.com/kamala-harris-…

Must read piece by Megan Curran on the need to bring back the expanded #CTC to ensure no child lives in poverty. "What we achieved in 2021 offers a policy roadmap for the future...And the power of what is possible when we center people in policy." newsweek.com/kamala-harris-…

What do the Census poverty numbers released today reveal? Child poverty @ 13.7%. Had an expanded Child Tax Credit been in effect in 2023, it could have been 8.6%. And could have kept an additional 3.6 MILLION CHILDREN out of poverty. Read our new research→povertycenter.columbia.edu/publication/wh…
