A million kids stand to lose access to meals.
Dear John,
Thanks to supporters like you, we've made critical progress on efforts
to stop the proposed changes to federal food assistance that would
increase childhood hunger.
But we still need your help. A new analysis shows that the proposal
would put 1,000,000 children at risk of losing the free school lunch
benefits that they need to thrive. For many vulnerable children, free
lunch at school might be the only nutritious meal they can count on
all day.

Thanks to a massive outpouring of opposition to the proposal, the US
Department of Agriculture has re-opened the comment period to hear
from the public-but just until November 1st.
John, even if you
took action before, you can do so again during this new comment
period.

And thanks in advance for forwarding this email to 2 friends who care
about ending childhood hunger. Help spread the word to make sure
hungry kids can continue to get the healthy meals they need each day.

Dear John,
If your goal was to increase childhood hunger, this would sadly be a
great place to start.
The White House has a proposal to make it harder for poor, working
families to receive food assistance. While the details of the change
are wonky and bureaucratic, the likely real-world effect is all too
real: More hungry kids in America.
ACT NOW: voice your opposition to this ill-considered plan.

John, this is so
urgent that we've declared today, September 16th, a day of
action for hungry children.
Take action today

So I'm asking you to not only voice your own opposition to this
policy, but to forward this urgent message to family, friends and
colleagues who share your commitment to ending childhood hunger.
This proposal would cause children to lose the meals they need both in
and out of school:
First, working poor families will lose SNAP benefits, which means less
food at home. Second, the kids in those families will also lose their
eligibility for free school meals. This hunger double whammy comes as
concerns about the economy are rising and millions of families are
working hard but still struggling to make ends meet. We should be
looking for ways to help more kids get the food they need to reach
their full potential, but this proposal does the exact opposite.
I know you care, so please take 3 minutes to act and make a big
difference for hungry kids.
