Tell Congress: Undo the SNAP Cuts!

Hardworking families are already facing high grocery prices and stagnating job growth and wages; now is NOT the time to cut food access for millions of people!

The SNAP benefit delays during the shutdown reveal how critical SNAP benefits are for our economy and also for the 42 million families who use them to take care of their families, contribute to their communities, and build good lives.

Now that the immediate crisis is over, we are turning our attention to the broader, long-term threats to SNAP. While SNAP has long had strong bi-partisan support due to its track record of boosting the economy and families alike, the budget reconciliation law (OBBB) passed last summer by Republicans and signed into law by Trump cut $187 billion to SNAP— the largest cut ever to the country’s first line of defense against hunger. Soon, millions of people will permanently lose their benefits, businesses will be undermined, and our economy as a whole will suffer.

Instead of lifting families and our economy, Trump’s Big Bill (OBBB) cuts food assistance by a staggering 20% in order to pay for tax breaks for billionaires and to fund policies that separate families, violate human rights, and target hardworking immigrants, people who are essential to our care workforce, our agricultural workforce, our economy, and our future.

The Restoring Food Security for American Families and Farmers Act of 2025 was recently introduced in both the U.S. House and the Senate. This legislation reverses the devastating cuts to SNAP made last summer in the budget reconciliation law (OBBB – “Trump’s Big Bill”).

Urge your members of Congress to reverse the SNAP cuts by supporting the Restoring Food Security for American Families and Farmers Act of 2025.

Dear member of Congress:

As moms and people who care about children and families, we urge you to support the Restoring Food Security for American Families and Farmers Act of 2025, which will undo the cuts to SNAP enacted in H.R.1 that damage the economy, businesses, and families alike. Funding for nutrition programs doesn't just lift the economy, it’s also popular– 66% of voters want funding for nutrition programs to be increased, not taken away!

Recently, millions of moms experienced hunger, panic, and harm to their families when SNAP benefits were delayed during the shutdown. The delays reveal how critical SNAP benefits are for our economy and also for the 42 million people who use them to take care of their families, contribute to their communities, and build good lives.

SNAP is not only essential for families, it’s also important for our communities, businesses, and the economy. Each dollar in federally funded SNAP benefits generates $1.79 in economic activity, boosting farmers, retailers, and the economy. The harm caused by the SNAP cuts will ripple across the economy. Over the next 6 months, the SNAP cuts will decrease sales for small grocers by as much as 6.7%. Over the next decade, the decline in household food purchases will cause farmers to lose roughly $24 billion, which is an enormous loss for farmers!

Hardworking families are already facing high grocery prices and stagnating job growth and wages. Now is NOT the time to cut food access for millions of people. We urge you to sign the Restoring Food Security for American Families and Farmers Act of 2025.

Sincerely,
