Parents across the country are feeling the strain of rising costs and inflation, as prices for essentials like food, gas, and rent continue to climb. The economic pressures are not only affecting their daily lives but also influencing how they are thinking about the upcoming election.

Efforts to temporarily expand the child tax credit have stalled in Congress, leaving parents without much-needed financial assistance. In response, parents are organizing and advocating for policies that address the economic challenges faced by families.
As the financial needs of families continue to be ignored, especially during an election year, there may be political consequences. With parents feeling the pinch of rising costs and limited financial support, they are calling for action to help ease their economic burdens.
