John, Early this morning, the House passed its budget reconciliation bill that includes about $300 billion in cuts to SNAP. These are the most extreme cuts proposed in the program’s history — and they put millions of kids and families at greater risk of hunger and hardship.
This is devastating news, but our fight is far from over.
Even though the House has passed the bill, it now moves to the Senate — where changes can still be made before it returns to the House for a final vote.
That means now is the moment to speak up: Will you call your representative to demand they protect SNAP benefits that are crucial to preventing childhood hunger? We’ve put together everything you need, including how to make the call and what to say.
Now more than ever is the time to speak up and advocate for kids by calling your representative to tell them that cuts to programs that help feed children do not reflect our values — and demand accountability.
So please, we’re urgently asking: Call your representative now to advocate for millions of kids and families who rely on SNAP. This vital program may be on the line, but we’re not giving up this fight.
Thank you for your partnership and continued support for kids.
