Tell the Senate this is our moment: pass the American Rescue Plan today

Your senators have a choice to make: provide meaningful relief for children and families to weather COVID-19 and ensure they can be even stronger on the other side, or fail to act and continue to let children and families struggle. The $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan currently under consideration by the Senate would provide immediate relief while also taking a long-overdue step to address our nation’s shameful child poverty crisis. This legislation could lead to the largest reduction in child poverty rates in decades.

But it’s not a done deal yet. Your senators need to hear from you today. Tell them children and families are counting on them to provide the critical relief they desperately need.

Dear [Decision Maker],

As your constituent, I'm calling on you to pass the American Rescue Plan and truly fight back against the racial, economic, health, and safety consequences of the devastating COVID-19 pandemic. Your vote to pass this package would ensure families get the relief they need NOW to weather this storm and would make a down payment on ending our nation's shameful child poverty crisis that could lead to the largest reduction in child poverty rates in decades.
