Family Policies for ALL! It’s time for a paradigm shift in family policymaking: embrace core principles of inclusion, diversity and equity; align policies with science; craft policies for the “care of children” including but not limited to child care. familyandhome.org/blog/family-po…

What was the original meaning and the motivation for marking a special day for mothers? A call for peace, as historian Heather Cox Richardson explains. Read more, and send a message to the President, Vice President, your Senators and Representative: family-and-home-network.ck.page/posts/mothers-…

When you see statements about "working mothers" please remember this... And rather than crafting policies for "working families" family policies should equitably support ALL families. See our new Wikipedia article on Stay-at-home mother: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stay-at-h…

Representation matters. At-home mothers and at-home fathers provide care for children, care that must be equitably funded in family policies. See our new Wikipedia article on Stay-at-home mother: en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?ti…

The House overwhelmingly (w/169 Rs!) passed the Child Tax Credit/corporate tax bill. Instead of fast-tracking it, some in the Senate are trying to extract a pound of flesh– eliminating the “lookback” provision Bipartisan proponents of the bill should welcome this debate Thread

Thank you @RepGwenMoore for standing up for all families!

Hear Representative Gwen Moore (D, WI) on why the tax compromise being debated in Congress needs to be improved to cover all low-income children youtu.be/20D6_1RD1FQ?si…

URGENT! Tell Congress: Strengthen #CTC in 2024 Tax Relief legislation so the most impoverished children are not excluded! Cover families incl. those w income too low to pay taxes. Call Capitol Switchboard (202) 225-3121 for your Representative, (202) 225-3121 for your Senators

URGENT! @RepJeffries @SpeakerJohnson @SenSchumer @LeaderMcConnell don't leave the poorest, most vulnerable children out of #ChildTaxCredit. The bipartisan tax bill should be strengthened and not leave out the 2 million children in families w incomes too low to pay taxes.

Read @OshanJarow's case for why anti-poverty programs like the Child Tax Credit work BETTER without income and work requirements with research showing that removing "phase-ins" from the CTC would immediately lift 3.6 million children out of poverty. vox.com/future-perfect…

We just wrapped up National Caregivers Month, and I wrote an op-ed about my bill, the Worker Relief and Credit Reform Act, which would expand eligibility for the Earned Income Tax Credit to unpaid caregivers. #CaregivingIsWork Read more: tinyurl.com/3w6cxm83

Time together is an essential factor in establishing and maintaining the secure, stable, nurturing relationships children need. Public policies can help reduce stress; enabling more parent-child time together. Please give to our grassroots organization: tinyurl.com/FamilyandHomeN…

@RepGregMurphy Did you know that many disabled Veterans w/children live in poverty? Their families don't have enough earned income to get the Child Tax Credit. But you can fix this! Take the politics out of family policy, support ALL families with the extended Child Tax Credit! #ChildTaxCredit

This morning, I had the privilege to speak at the Veterans Day Ceremony in Greenville to honor those who served our nation. We are so blessed here in Eastern North Carolina to live among such truly incredible individuals. It was a pleasure meeting so many veterans from our district and listening to their stories. To all those that served our country, and your families, thank you. The prosperity and liberties we enjoy would not be possible without your sacrifice.

Yes! And child poverty is a huge injustice. Please @BerniceKing help us reach more people who will speak up to Congress - extended Child Tax credit for ALL families. actionnetwork.org/letters/urgent…
