This crisis will reach every state. It will require all of us to step up and link arms to protect people at risk of going hungry.
I want to be very clear: Donald Trump has made the decision to let people across this country go hungry.
The funding for SNAP is available and was approved by Congress.
But Trump’s telling fifteen million hungry children: Eat dirt.
He’s telling a million hungry veterans: Eat dirt.
He’s telling eight million seniors: Eat dirt.
That’s how little Donald Trump cares about the children, veterans, seniors, and people in this country.
Meanwhile Trump has no problem finding money for the things he cares about. He’s managed to round up millions for a gold-encrusted ballroom, for Argentina’s bailout, and a Great Gatsby-inspired Halloween party. But he’s withholding funding to keep people in our country fed.
This is a manufactured hunger crisis created by Donald Trump.
I’m fighting back and pulling every lever I can to get this funding to families. One important action we can take right now is to support food assistance programs across the country that are standing in the gap and getting families the support they need right now.
So if you can, please split a donation to support the United Way of Massachusetts Bay and Merrimack Valley, United Way of Central Massachusetts, and the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts.
Thanks for being a part of this,
Elizabeth
