The American Family Plan was first introduced by President Joe Biden in April to highlight the plan’s aim in supporting children, families and the U.S economy. The plan includes their initiatives of adding at least four years of free education, providing direct support to children and families, and extending tax cuts for families with children and American workers.
The influencers featured in the social media briefing are: DJ and entrepreneur Hannah Bronfman, Instagram comedian Benito Skinner, The Property Brothers, political activist and influencer Amelie Zilber, digital creator Jordan Stratton, Buzzfeed’s Curly Velasquez, fashion influencer Chriselle Lim, vlogger Brittany Xavier, interior design creators and entrepreneurs Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin.
Lim shared her joy participating in the session with Psaki and extended her support for the American Family Plan:
“Thank you @whitehouse @potus for this incredible opportunity. Today I had the honor to speak with Jen Psaki, White House’s Press Secretary, about the American Family Plan, which I personally feel very strongly about and completely aligns with @bumowork ‘s mission enabling parents to get back in the workforce and to have access to childcare and quality education.”
