** SNAP Cut-Off to Cause Depression-Like Hunger Catastrophe: Help Fight Back Now
------------------------------------------------------------



** “We’re on the cliff of a hunger crisis of the greatest proportion in modern American history.”
------------------------------------------------------------

The federal government shutdown could, and almost certainly will, create a hunger crisis in America. Hunger Free America CEO Joel Berg joined ABC10 to explain the very real danger the shutdown will create for millions of Americans if it continues even one more week.

** The Trump Administration Threatens to Deprive 42 Million Americans of $8 Billion in Food Per Month Due to Shutdown
------------------------------------------------------------

If Republicans in Congress don't end the government shutdown soon, nearly 42 million Americans, about 1 in 8, are at imminent risk of losing access to sufficient food as soon as November 1st. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as Food Stamps) – which is, by far, the nation's largest anti-hunger program – will not be able to make November payments if the shutdown does not end very soon

Nationwide, 41.7 million Americans would have their SNAP payments delayed, which would postpone them getting about $7.9 billion worth of food that is due to them in November. That would also mean a delay of nearly $8 billion in income for more than 250,000 food retailers nationwide.

Tell them to put pressure on G.O.P. lawmakers to immediately reopen the government and prevent this hunger crisis by reaching a compromise that limits massive increases in healthcare premiums.
