Last night, Congress passed a budget plan aiming to reduce mandatory spending by $2 trillion over the next decade. This proposal will significantly impact SNAP funding. Will you speak up to protect this lifesaving support? [[link removed]]

John,
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps 42 million Americans put food on the table.
Now more than ever, this support is essential.
* Nearly 14 million children are going hungry across the nation
* G rocery prices have risen 25% over the past five years
* The cost of eggs is up 160% since 2021
* People are spending more of their income on food than they have in 30 years
If Congress cuts SNAP benefits, families WILL suffer – they’re barely surviving on the $6.20 per person they currently receive.
John, kids can’t learn, play or dream on empty stomachs. Urge Congress to step up and protect SNAP benefits! [[link removed]]

Prior to 2021, SNAP benefits hadn’t been updated in DECADES. The last increase was just $1.40, and it STILL lifted 1 million children out of poverty.
While families struggle to afford soaring grocery prices, Congress is breaking its promise to update SNAP. Struggling families are desperate for another increase to keep up with rising costs.
Please, tell your lawmakers: Investing in nutrition pays off. Stand by your promise to protect SNAP! [[link removed]]
Thanks for being a voice for kids,
