Today, First Focus Campaign for Children sent a letter to Representative Clay Higgins, author of H.R. 778, which would have the effect of denying millions of U.S. citizen children access to the Child Tax Credit.
Excerpt from the letter:
We need all of our nation’s children to thrive and flourish. Unfortunately, child poverty and lack of investment in the future of children negatively impact every aspect of their lives, including their health, education, nutrition, housing, and rates of child abuse and juvenile justice. We should strive to do everything in our power to improve the lives of our children rather than impose additional barriers and limit their lifetime opportunities.
