July 25 Call-In Day for TANF

Jul 23, 2002

Leading child advocacy organizations have designated July 25 a "national call-in" day for urging Senators to reauthorize welfare reform in a way that helps low-income families rise out of poverty. Advocates see the Senate Finance Committee-approved TANF bill as a good start, and hope the Senate will improve it further by increasing child care funding and rejecting an increase in required work hours beyond the current 30 per week.
