Dear Friend,
Today on Veterans Day, the government is still shutdown awaiting a House
vote - and the President is still horrifically weaponizing access to food
for tens of millions of SNAP families. including military families. Our
nation should be honoring those who served, not turning our backs on them.
But instead the Trump Administration is still advancing cruel policies
that would take away healthcare, food, and reproductive freedom from
veterans.
[ [link removed] ]Tell Congress that taking healthcare, SNAP, and rights away from our
veterans is unacceptable!
Our veterans are facing needless hardship under the Trump Administration.
Earlier this year, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill into
law expanding SNAP’s harsh work requirements to include veterans, even
though more than one million rely on SNAP to feed themselves and their
families. [1][ [link removed] ] They’ve also proposed a cruel rule that would deny
veterans abortion care, even in cases of rape or incest. [ [link removed] ] Almost
300,000 reproductive-age women rely on the VA for care. Denying them
essential reproductive health services is dangerous and unacceptable.
The attacks on care don’t stop there. In addition, right now, more than
600,000 veterans rely on the Affordable Care Act Marketplace. Congress
still has time to act to prevent nearly half of veterans seeing their
costs skyrocket or lose their coverage all together. [ [link removed] ] And even more
shocking, many of the more than 100,000 veterans who have served our
country, but are not U.S. citizens, are living in fear of Trump’s ruthless
attacks on immigrants. [ [link removed] ]
Our veterans have already sacrificed enough. They shouldn’t have to fight
their own government to access care, food, or safety. There is still time
to stop this!
[2]Raise your voice in support of veterans!
Our veterans deserve more than words of gratitude, they deserve action!
They deserve leaders who honor their service not pay lip service. Our
leaders, including President Trump, must ensure that no one who has served
this country has to fight for healthcare, food, or safety.
[3]Speak out for veterans and push back against these cruel and heartless
policies.
We must support our veterans. Let's call out when the government is
causing them undue suffering.
Thanks for all you do,
-Gina, Tina, Monifa, and the whole MomsRising.org & MamásConPoder Team
