Advocacy Alert: Tell Congress to protect SNAP

From the Coalition Against Hunger

The President’s proposed budget plan for SNAP would abandon the American commitment to ensure no child goes hungry in this country and would leave the unemployed, the elderly, and low-income working families more likely to struggle to put food on the table.

While some are dismissing the President’s budget, all indications are that the House of Representatives is considering similar cuts to SNAP in its budget resolution, which is expected later this month.

Phone calls are needed this week to influence House members before they head into a conversation about the House budget with their leadership on other caucus members on Friday. Find your representative’s phone number below (or click here to find your representative) and share this message:

“I am calling to urge Congressman _____________ to oppose any budget resolution or legislation that requires cuts or would change the structure of key programs – like SNAP – that help struggling families afford the basics, including food on the table, a roof over their heads, and access to health care.”
