MomsRising is going to be meeting with Michigan Senators next week in Washington, D.C. and we want to bring YOUR stories about how your family is boosted by the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit to your elected leaders.
This is your change to have your voice heard on the need to protect and strengthen the federal EITC and Child Tax Credit. Michigan’s state-level EITC is already at risk of being eliminated in order to pay for road construction. While we are supporting efforts to fight the state-level elimination of the EITC, we are also trying to build support to strengthen and protect the federal EITC and Child Tax Credit. Unless the U.S. Congress acts soon, key provisions of the EITC and Child Tax Credit will expire, pushing nearly 16 million people—including 8 million children and many military families—into poverty and making it harder for tens of millions more families to pay their bills.
Your stories help us protect these important working family tax breaks!
Please share your story on how the EITC and Child Tax Credit helps your family by going to this link: https://www.momsrising.org/member_stories/topic/has-the-earned-income-tax-credit-eitc-or-child-tax-credit-ctc-helped-your-family/. And once you tell MomsRising your story, make sure to encourage your friends on Facebook to do the same.
