$3,000/$3,600 Child Tax Credit: The Budget Resolution will enable the Senate to expand the Child Tax Credit from $2,000 to $3,000 and to $3,600 for children under the age of 6. This provision alone will lift nearly 10 million children out of poverty.

Minimum wage: The Budget Resolution will enable the Senate to raise the federal minimum wage from a starvation wage of $7.25 an hour to a living wage.

$350 billion to prevent mass layoffs of public sector workers in state and local governments: The Budget Resolution will enable the Senate to provide $350 billion in financial assistance to state and local governments to prevent the mass layoff of public sector workers. During the pandemic, state and local governments have laid off 1.4 million workers –including 50,000 in December alone. The Congressional Budget Office has said that the Number One best “bang for the buck�of all the money Congress has passed so far is aid to state and local governments.

Pensions: The Budget Resolution will enable the Senate to protect the retirement benefits of millions of workers and retirees in troubled multi-employer pension plans. As a result of the greed on Wall Street, workers and retirees in multi-employer pension plans are in danger of seeing their retirement benefits cut by as much as 65 percent. That is unacceptable.

When a worker is promised a pension benefit after a lifetime of work that promise must be kept. By shoring up the multiemployer pension system and the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation, this resolution will prevent the pensions of millions of Americans from being cut.

The Budget Resolution will enable the Senate to provide these struggling Americans with the relief they need to stay in their apartments.

Public Transit: the resolution provides relief for transit agencies who have been deeply impacted by the pandemic and forced to cut service and jobs in 2020.

They need our help.
