Friend,
Public pressure is building for lawmakers to approve additional COVID-19 and economic relief before the end of the Congressional session this week.
We’re doing everything we can to advocate for this relief to contain a 15% increase in funding for SNAP (formerly called Food Stamps). To do so, we are:
- Mobilizing physicians to contact their member of Congress
- Generating calls and emails to Capitol Hill congressional offices from volunteers and the public
- Highlighting these issues in the national, regional, and local media
- Meeting with elected officials and their staffs
- Empowering members of our Food Action Board to speak at virtual press conferences
Without new legislation and federal relief passed before Dec. 31, tens of millions of Americans will be left without any federal support for weeks, while hunger soars. Will you join our advocacy efforts today by calling your Senators and Representatives?
Thanks,
Emilio Tavarez, Director of Policy, Research, and Advocacy
P.S. If you can also afford to donate to support such efforts, please do.
