Every child deserves the opportunity to grow and thrive. During this briefing from June 2024, Rep. Rosa DeLauro (CT-3) and Rep. Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) spoke about the importance of expanding the Child Tax Credit (CTC) to reduce child poverty, and a panel of parents from across the country discussed how the CTC can promote family well-being and bring equity to the tax code as we look toward 2025 and the expiration of key provisions of the Trump Administration’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
