“RESULTS and its national network of advocates applaud Congresswoman Miller(R-WV) and Congressman Horsford (D-NV) for their bipartisan leadership in introducing the Stronger Start for Working Families Act. This legislation will improve the Child Tax Credit (CTC) so that it better rewards the hard work that millions of families employed in low to moderate wage jobs do to support their families. Congress must follow their lead and ensure expanded Child Tax Credit benefits reach families who need them the most." – Joanne Carter, Executive Director, RESULTS

RESULTS is disappointed to see the House pass a Farm Bill that fails to support families facing hunger. The Senate must do better.
RESULTS is disappointed to see the House pass a Farm Bill that fails to support families facing hunger. In the last year, more than 3 million people have lost access to SNAP benefits, and millions more will join them when states are forced to take on greater costs. The Senate must do better. We call on the Senate to reject any Farm Bill that does not give every state equal time to protect families from these devastating cuts.

Congress must fund health, education, and housing – and stand against abuse of power. Please call (202) 224-3121 today to urge your senators to act.

We are appalled by what has happened in Minnesota in recent weeks, where expanded federal immigration enforcement has escalated into deadly violence. ICE and CBP agents have destabilized and terrorized immigrant communities, traumatized children and families, and attacked bystanders documenting abuse. Amid peaceful protests, agents shot and killed Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti. While these tragedies cannot be undone, Congress can act to ensure they don’t happen again. - RESULTS Executive Director Joanne Carter

Senators Hassan & Young have introduced a bipartisan bill to strengthen the Child Tax Credit and provide a tax cut for 3.5 million working families.

Learn more: www.hassan.senate.gov/news/press-r...
“Sen. Hassan (D-NH) and Sen. Young (R-IN) should be applauded for their bipartisan leadership in introducing the Stronger Start for Working Families Act. This legislation will give millions of families working in low to moderate wage jobs a much needed $375 increase to their Child Tax Credit (CTC),” said RESULTS Executive Director Joanne Carter. “It is an important reminder that Congress can work together across party lines to promote the financial well-being of families.”
