Lobbying for Families and Children

From March 25-April 5, 2024, lawmakers return to their home districts during the Congressional recess. This is an opportunity to make your voice heard and help build support for the Child Tax Credit which would benefit 16 million children.

You could make a real difference. Congressional staff say that visits from constituents, even no more than five minutes, can influence their decisions. With your help, we can amplify our impact.

Here are two ways you can take action during Easter Congressional Recess:

Drop by a Congressional Office to Urge them To Act
