BIG NEWS! Another part of California's #EndChildPoverty Plan has been enacted thanks to the tireless work of families, advocates, organizers, and leaders across the state! Now ALL California workers who file taxes will be included in the California Earned Income Tax Credit. This life-giving tax credit, paired with the Young Child Tax Credit, goes to tax filers with low incomes who are working incredibly hard to make ends meet. These tax credits help families gain stability an...d pay for things children need like housing, food, school supplies and more. Immigrant tax filers who used Individual Tax Identification Numbers (ITINs) were previously excluded, but no more! THANK YOU to the amazing coalition that worked on the #CalEITC expansion, and to our California leaders who made it happen! Thank you, leaders! Gov.

We ask that you approve Senate Bill 1409 because some of our lowest-income hard-working families who would benefit the most from the Earned Income Tax Credit ...may be missing money they desperately need. - MLK Freedom Center Youth Leader Karen Rojas On Tuesday 8/11 our CA leaders can pass an important End Child Poverty Plan bill on to a full Assembly vote. Help us by leaving a & sharing to show support! My name is Karen Rojas. I am a student at Nea Community Learning Center in Alameda, Ca. I am a student leader at the Martin Luther King Jr. Freedom Center. I am speaking today to ask that you pass Senate Bill 1409 that will greatly help low-income families like mine. I am 16, and I have been raised by two wonderful sheroes, my grandmother & mother. My grandmother works at a minimum wage job, without benefits, for a large retail chain. Throughout her life she has had unstable housing. My mother is a single parent and she works very hard to support me. Many other families in my community face daily struggles like we do. Many other students at the Martin Luther King Jr Freedom Center are in low-income families that often have a hard time paying for food, rent and utilities. Some of my colleagues have experienced being homeless. Depending on the number of children in a home, California’s Earned Income Tax Credit delivers between $223 to $2,775, but many people may not know that they qualify for the credit, or how to file for it. The study required under this bill would help increase the number of eligible individuals and families that receive the EITC. As you know, SB 1409 requires the franchise tax board to explore how to make tax filing less burdensome for low-income households like mine that would be eligible, but do not currently file a tax return to claim the credit. The purpose of the study is to evaluate workability and practicability. And, more importantly to inform whether such a program beneficially serves California’s residents. SB 1409 passage into law will allow the state to evaluate how the EITC could be made available to eligible Californians who do not currently benefit from the credit. We're lucky to have leaders like Office of Lorena Gonzalez Frank Bigelow Richard Bloom Rob Bonta Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan Assemblymember Robert Rivas Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris Assemblymember Wendy Carrillo Assembly Majority Leader Ian Calderon Assemblymember Ed Chau Megan Dahle for Assembly Assemblyman Tyler Diep Assemblymember Susan Talamantes Eggman Assemblyman Vince Fong Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia Asm.
