Friend, tomorrow 42 million people across the country are going to lose access to SNAP benefits — including 3 million New Yorkers who rely on federal food assistance to survive.
Food assistance is a lifeline for working families, and many of our members depend on SNAP to put food on their tables. We’re preparing to support our membership through this national emergency and we need your help.
We’re working with two generous donors who will match up to $25,000 in donations to buy groceries for our members — that means your $15 contribution becomes $30.
Every dollar you contribute will provide groceries for our members so they can continue building power in their neighborhoods without having to worry about their family’s next meal. Can you give whatever you can to help buy groceries for our membership?
The truth is donation matches like this are hard to come by, Friend. This match is a unique opportunity to actually support working-class people organizing for a livable future, especially during a national crisis.
Trump’s MAGA regime is using this pending food crisis as a bargaining chip to re-open the federal government — all so they can take away health care subsidies for poor people. It’s a deeply cynical play to exhaust anyone who opposes their authoritarian, billionaire-led agenda.
It is much harder to organize in your community when you’re worrying about your next meal — Trump and his cronies know this. But we have each other’s backs.
Our matching donors will double every donation up to $25,000 towards our grocery fund. If you can help us raise that amount, we’ll have $50,000 to buy groceries so none of our members will have to go without meals during this time.
Please make a donation today to support our grocery fund for our members – every dollar counts.
Thank you for being in this fight with us, truly.
In solidarity,
Olivia Leirer
Executive Director
New York Communities for Change
