Federal CTC and EITC
Racial Justice and Civil Rights Organizations Call for CTC Boost

We urge you to restart these monthly CTC payments and restore eligibility to immigrant children
“As tax season draws to an end and tens of millions of people across the country receive the second half of their expanded Child Tax Credit (CTC), we write to express our deep and continued concern about the expiration of this vital support. The impact of the end of monthly CTC payments has been particularly profound – and painful – for communities of color.
Now that the Senate is about to start crafting an economic package, we urge you to restart these monthly payments and restore eligibility to immigrant children as the most immediate, meaningful response to higher prices that Congress can deliver to 36 million families, especially Black and Latino families historically left out of the full Child Tax Credit.”
