By a vote of 357–70, the House of Representatives passed the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act on Wednesday evening. This legislation would expand the Child Tax Credit from the current maximum per child amount of $1,400 to $2,000 by 2025.

As we welcome tens of thousands of post-Roe babies, we have a moral obligation to support mothers and families welcoming life. This legislation would offer necessary support for parents who need more help caring for their children and for those who want to have more children but feel inhibited by financial constraints.

Federal Policy Director Jesse Southerland said, “Perfect never needs to be the enemy of good. Building a pro-life culture will not be easy or free, but every dollar we put toward life will be worth it. We are very happy to see the House pass the pro-life and pro-family Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act.”
