Dear Friend,

I’m excited to announce that NCLEJ has been awarded a $1.3 million grant by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) to fund our efforts to preserve and expand access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) through high-impact litigation.

SNAP is a vital lifeline of economic support for nearly 42 million Americans. With food insecurity sharply rising due to the end of pandemic emergency benefits, inflation, and SNAP agency dysfunction, and the program under threat in Congress, protecting and expanding access to SNAP is more critical than ever. 47 out of 50 states are not delivering benefits as required by federal law, and millions of eligible people across the country—disproportionately people of color and people with disabilities—do not have enough money to buy food.

This grant will help power our high-impact efforts to dismantle barriers to SNAP access for low-income communities. We are enormously thankful to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for partnering with us in the fight to combat food insecurity and achieve greater health equity across the United States.

Fresh off the heels of this major announcement, I am asking you to join our efforts to protect and expand access to SNAP for hundreds of thousands of people. NCLEJ is one of the ONLY organizations in the country that has a program area dedicated to SNAP litigation, and our work never stops.

By donating, you can help power our high-impact work to expand access to food benefits in Alaska and Missouri and investigate more litigation opportunities in additional states where we can make the difference. ([link removed])

Our litigation will help low-income people, people of color, Indigenous communities, non-English speakers, and people with disabilities who rely on SNAP by requiring state agencies to provide due process, adhere to SNAP program rules, and affirmatively dismantle barriers to access.

Thank you,

Dennis Parker
Executive Director, NCLEJ
