Since the start of the pandemic, CDF has called on lawmakers to prioritize children in their response to the crisis and the President-Elect’s relief package would provide immediate relief while also taking a long overdue step to address our nation’s shameful child poverty crisis that could lead to the largest reduction in child poverty rates in decades. https://www.childrensdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Scavenger-Hunt-3-Boys-scaled.jpg25601072
