In his speech, President Biden outlined a groundbreaking plan to invest in our children and our families, grow the middle class, expand the benefits of economic growth to all Americans, and make the United States more competitive.

Nurturing a family, caring for those in need, and fighting hunger are cornerstone Jewish values. The American Families Plan reflects those values by: 

• Providing 2 years of universal, quality-preschool to all three-and four-year-olds;

• Ensuring 2 years of free community college for all Americans;

• Increasing Pell Grant funding by 40%;

• Guaranteeing that low- and middle-income families spend no more than seven percent of their income on child care;

• Creating a comprehensive national paid family and medical leave program;

• Reducing childhood hunger by expanding access to healthy school meals;

• Expanding the American Rescue Plan's child tax credit; and

• Enhancing the Affordable Care Act's health care subsidies.

The American Families Plan is an essential component of President Biden's plan to restore the soul of our nation and Build Back Better, offering economic relief to all Americans. .  Urge your member of Congress to support the American Families Plan.
