Show Support to Protect SNAP!

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is currently under attack. Republicans in Congress are actively forming a list of potential cuts to SNAP and other crucial programs in a Budget Reconciliation Bill.

These cuts would slash funding for SNAP by billions of dollars, with reported potential cuts for the Senate Agriculture committee from $50 to $150 billion. Additionally, House Budget Committee Chair Jodey Arrington (R-TX) offered a list of proposed cuts to safety net and nutrition programs including $12 billion in cuts to school breakfast and lunch programs (FRAC).

Speak up and take action to protect your neighbors and families throughout America from hunger.

Here’s How You Can Take Action:

POST: This week, join Food Research & Action Center (FRAC) for “Show Your Love for SNAP” and urge Congress to keep #HandsOffSNAP. Sample images and messages are in this toolkit.
