Between 2020 and 2021, child poverty fell dramatically for all children and gaps in poverty rates between racial and ethnic groups narrowed. For Black children, poverty fell from 17.2% in 2021 to 8.3% in 2020. For Latino children, it fell from 14.7% to 8.4%.
Thank you, @RepDelBene, for your support for the #ChildTaxCredit (CTC) in Congress and for sharing our and @KairosCenterNYC's new report on the importance of the CTC for families and their children's health and well-being!

Child poverty has increased since #CTC expired & children of color are disproportionately poorer.
@Sen_JoeManchin stop throwing our kids under the bus! Caring 4 children, families is vital. @SenateDems#ExtendCTC & no work requirements!
