URGE THE SENATE TO SUPPORT EXPANDING WORKING FAMILY
TAX CREDITS
Please Call 888-738-3058 Now!
Right now, Congress is working on adding bipartisan tax legislation to the end of year, must-pass budget package. But, it's imperative that any tax "fixes" or "extenders" helping businesses and the wealthy also help low wage workers.
Call Senator Tim Kaine and Senator Mark Warner now and tell them to include working family tax credits in any tax extenders package. Call 888-738-3058 twice to reach both Senators!
The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit help working families and individuals meet their basic needs. Together, these tax credits lifted 8.9 million people out of poverty in 2018. Our nation's tax policy should prioritize these tax credits and their investment in our nation's children and families.

Support the EITC and Child Tax Credit today!
Call your Senators at 888-738-3058.
Call twice to reach both of your Senators. When you call, here's what you might say:
"Hi, my name is [NAME] and I'm a constituent from [TOWN]. I'm calling as a person of faith to ask you to expand and improve the EITC and Child Tax Credit. Any tax package the Senate passes this year must include improvements to the low income tax credits: the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit."

The overwhelming beneficiaries of the 2017 Republican Tax Law were corporations and wealthy individuals while the legislation largely ignoring low wage workers, whose wages have been stagnant in recent decades, and their families. If Congress adds a bipartisan package of tax provisions to end-of-year budget legislation including 'technical corrections' for business, those corrections will add more tax breaks worth billions for business. We must tell Senators to help low income workers and families in this tax package!
As people of faith, we are called to prioritize the basic needs of those who are most vulnerable in our society. The Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit do just that. Our tax code must demonstrate our shared duty to each other and to future generations by investing in our shared future. Call your Senators now at 888-738-3058 to support improving the EITC and Child Tax Credit!
