The strengthening of the federal Child Tax Credit in 2021 caused child
poverty to plummet. Unfortunately, those changes were temporary, and now
millions of kids across the country are falling back into poverty, due
to congressional action.
In this episode of Policy for the People, Oregon Senator Ron Wyden
talks about his efforts to bring back the enhanced Child Tax Credit
before the year ends – before a new Congress takes its seat in January.
Our focus on kids continues in our second segment. Ivy Major-McDowall, Policy and Advocacy Director at Our Children Oregon, discusses what the data says about the well-being of Oregon’s children
