Dear MoveOn member,

The Trump administration recently announced changes to SNAP that will
cause hundreds of thousands of people to lose access to their "food stamp"
benefits. [ [link removed] ]Will you sign the petition to urge Secretary of
Agriculture Sonny Perdue to stop these attacks on families who depend on
SNAP?

USDA's newly proposed rules for SNAP will cut food stamp benefits for
hundreds of thousands of hungry people. We demand that you stop these
proposed changes before they take effect on April 1, 2020.

According to Feeding America, "SNAP provides families with their basic
nutritional needs to get them through temporary hard times. It helps
people get back on their feet and on the road to a better life."

But the Trump administration has been working for the last three years to
undermine SNAP as part of their agenda to limit access to public
assistance programs.

This newly announced attack on SNAP is especially outrageous, because
Congress rejected these proposed changes to the program during the Farm
Bill debate last year. The House rejected them in a bipartisan vote of
330-83, and the Senate voted down a similar amendment 68-30.

But now, Sonny Perdue, Trump's secretary of agriculture, is moving forward
with these changes through an undemocratic "executive order" that targets
very poor people struggling to work—many of whom are homeless, living in
small towns and rural communities with little or no access to employment,
or have health conditions that prevent them from working.
