Send a Letter to the Editor to Protect SNAP!

This week, U.S. Senators and Representatives will be back in D.C. and they need to take care of one very important piece of legislation before they leave again in October for the midterm elections: The Farm Bill! The Farm Bill is the piece of legislation that funds SNAP (food stamps). SNAP helps 1 in 8 Americans across the country afford groceries. Super important right?

We want to send a loud, strong, important message in the form of our local newspapers to our U.S. Senators and Representatives! We want to make sure Congress passes a Farm Bill that protects SNAP from cuts and harmful changes, like work requirements, which particularly impact people who are ill, have disabilities, caregiving responsibilities or who are escaping domestic abuse.

***Can you take a quick, critical action and send a letter to the editor to your local paper speaking out to protect SNAP?
