From Pittsburgh to the Lehigh Valley, I’ve met with Pennsylvanians who rely on direct support professionals every day — and I've talked to their caregivers about what they need.
The answer was clear: we need more folks who want to do this life changing work and we need to raise their wages.
Beth McConnell retweeted
This is a reminder that Pennsylvania's minimum wage has not changed since 2009. That's 15 years!
Since then, the buying power of the minimum wage has plummeted by 30%. Higher wages mean a stronger economy and stronger communities.

In 2021, the temporary expansion of the Child Tax Credit significantly improved outcomes for children and families in several areas, including reducing food hardship. Tell Congress to give families relief now and pass the expanded Child Tax Credit today!

If an expansion of the child tax credit passed, here’s what would change and who would benefit. @clairecm @aliciaparlap @sangerkatz

When fully in effect, it would lift some half a million or more children above the poverty line & make 5 million children less poor by bringing their incomes closer to the poverty line. cbpp.org/research/federal-ta…

Progress: The House Ways & Means Committee’s passage of a bipartisan tax package that would expand the #ChildTaxCredit marks an important step towards substantially boosting the incomes of millions of families & significantly lowering child poverty this year.

Congressional negotiators have reached a deal to expand the 2021 enhanced Child Tax Credit, as part of a new spending package.
Here's what research says about the economics of the CTC and how it improved well-being of U.S. children and their families. ⬇️equitablegrowth.org/factshee…

By expanding the #ChildTaxCredit and making it available to low-income families, Congress enhances the financial stability of veterans and military families and contributes to a more engaged, focused, and productive workforce unionveterans.org/news/pavin…

The bipartisan #ChildTaxCredit compromise proposal described in press reports would be an important step forward, though far smaller than the American Rescue Plan expansion.
Thread with CBPP’s brand new numbers on proposal’s poverty impact.

"The current statute conflicts with a federal law designed to protect the educational rights of homeless students. The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act requires school districts to immediately enroll students experiencing housing insecurity..."
Beth McConnell retweeted
"In November, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives unanimously passed legislation that would reverse a state law allowing schools to keep out any students, including homeless children, during residency disputes."

Our City’s Zero Fare program represents the country’s most expansive transit access program for low-income riders. Through this program, we hope to reduce barriers to transportation for 25,000 residents—expanding their access to the city they call home. inquirer.com/transportation/…

We @PHL_CEO are so excited to be part of this program and working with @PCDC_Events @ACANAevents @esperanza_us @seamaac @PuentesDeSalud & New World Assoc!
We’re making exciting progress on the City’s new Zero Fare pilot program! The first 1,000 selected participants already show early use of this new benefit.
By the end of 2023, we plan to have automatically enrolled 25,000 residents with low incomes for free SEPTA transit.
