Tell Congress: No cuts to SNAP food assistance!
In April, the Republican-led House passed a budget that would cut $230 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
SNAP is considered the country’s most effective tool to combat food insecurity. 42.1 million people in America rely on SNAP benefits to feed their families every month.
Around 47.4 million people in America don’t know where their next meal is coming from. And when the economy is doing poorly, more people need SNAP to stay healthy and out of poverty.
So why does the Republican budget cut the $6 a day SNAP provides to millions of needy families?
The sad truth: They want to take milk, eggs, fruits, veggies, and bread off families’ tables in order to give more tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans.
Cutting food assistance programs would devastate millions of families who just need a little help paying their grocery bills. Congress needs to hear loud and clear that we won’t stand for these dangerous cuts in our communities.

Jailing for profit is wrong.
Counties across the United States are building and renting out jail space for profit—a move that harms communities and does not make them safer.
County budgets should not depend on locking people up. Local officials need to stop spending money on jail construction and instead invest in community-based alternatives.
Join our fight to end jailing for profit.
