The Trump Administration is slashing social services like feeding the hungry to pay for tax cuts for billionaires like Elon Musk.

Team, we need to take a hard look at what this means for communities like Montgomery and Berks Counties, where as many as 80,000 people will go hungry tonight. These are children, veterans, the disabled, and working families — all struggling to manage rising prices.

In March, Trump cruelly cut $500 million from the federal Emergency Food Assistance Program. As a result, local food pantries like the MontCo Anti-Hunger Network, Manna on Main Street, and the Share Food Program are facing shortages.

Federal cuts gut food banks as they face record demand.

You read that right: food shortages in the United States of America. We have Donald Trump to thank. Instantly add your name to protest these cruel spending cuts.

That’s far from the only pain Trump and Musk are unnecessarily inflicting on our communities. When they (illegally) slashed funding for AmeriCorps — our national volunteer agency — remediation projects for Philadelphians still rebuilding from Hurricane Ida stopped before completion, and young volunteers were sent home. Francine Flemings from North Philadelphia recently told an NPR reporter how that impacted her:

Trump administration's AmeriCorps cuts delay storm recovery projects for Philly homeowners.

More than three years [after Ida, Flemings] was about to get needed repairs with the help of volunteers working through AmeriCorps, a federal program that pays a modest living allowance of less than $100 a week to youth aged 18 to 26 years old, who work on a range of community service projects… But the Trump administration’s funding cuts led to an abrupt layoff of the volunteers, putting home repairs for people like Flemings on pause. ‘It makes me want to cry,’ Flemings said.”

The AmeriCorps program, prior to Trump and Musk’s assault, provided a huge amount of support for Pennsylvanians, including veterans, first-generation college students, and nearly 10,000 teachers in our Philly region.

If you feel, as I do, that the Trump Administration needs to answer for this cruelty, please instantly add your name.

We’re in this together,
