TELL CONGRESS: Vote NO on Cuts to SNAP

Right now, the U.S. House of Representatives is advancing a proposal that would strip millions of kids and families of the food assistance they count on to stay healthy and thrive.

This reconciliation proposal moving through the legislative process would cut billions of dollars from SNAP, one of our nation's most powerful tools to end hunger.

This isn't just a bad policy proposal—it's a direct threat to children's health, learning and well-being.

We need your voice. Tell your Representatives: Help ensure kids have access to the nutrition they need by supporting the programs that help millions of families put food on the table every day.

TELL CONGRESS: Vote NO on Cuts to SNAP

Dear [Decision Maker],

* Personalize your message

No matter how these cuts are framed, the outcome is undeniable: more kids and families will face hunger. As your constituent, I urge you to consider the real harm this proposal would cause in our community:

- It would slash future SNAP benefits--undermining the program's ability to keep pace with rising food prices and making it harder for families to afford the groceries they need.

- It would shift major costs to states--forcing them to pay for SNAP benefits and take on a higher share of administrative costs for the first time ever. Many states already help administer the program, and this added burden would almost certainly lead to cuts in program benefits and eligibility.

- It would impose punitive time limits on SNAP benefits tied to complex work-reporting rules--even on seniors and parents of young children. These changes ignore the real-world challenges many people face and would take food away from those who need it most.

These cuts aren't just dangerous--they're shortsighted. SNAP is one of the most effective tools we have to reduce hunger, supporting 42 million people, including children, seniors, veterans, people with disabilities and working families. This proposal threatens their well-being for the sake of arbitrary budget targets, instead of advancing real, bipartisan solutions.

Congress should be working to strengthen SNAP--not weaken it--by investing in strategies that make the program more effective, more accessible and more resilient. That means helping families afford healthy food, streamlining applications and upgrading technology to prevent fraud and protect benefits.

I urge you to reject this harmful proposal and protect the dignity, health and economic stability of families in our district and across the country.

Sincerely,
