SNAP Cuts Mitigation Hub: Responding to H.R. 1
The harmful Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provisions in the budget reconciliation law (H.R. 1) passed in July threaten to undermine decades of progress in reducing hunger in America, disrupt the food system, strip food away from millions of people, burden already strained state budgets, and threaten the economy.
Tell Your House Members: Reject the House Agriculture Committee Farm Bill, Restore Critical SNAP Funding
Urge House Leadership to stop the flawed H.R. 7567, the Farm Food, and National Security Act of 2026 from advancing to the floor for a vote and tell your Members to vote no if it does. The House must instead proceed with a bill that would reverse the devastating cuts and other harmful changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that were included in the budget reconciliation law, H.R. 1.
Urge Your Members of Congress to Cosponsor the Stop Child Hunger Act
Ask your Members of Congress to support legislation that improves and increases access to the Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer Program (Summer EBT).
Advocacy Needed to Reinstate USDA’s Food Security Report
Use the FRAC Action Network to urge your Members of Congress to reach out to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and demand it reinstate the Economic Research Service Household Food Security report, the gold standard for measuring hunger in America. Your message matters. Hunger will not end by ignoring it. Congress needs to act now.
Urge Your House Representative to Cosponsor the MODERN WIC Act
Ask your Representative to join the growing list of cosponsors for the More Options to Develop and Enhance Remote Nutrition (MODERN) WIC Act (H.R. 1464).

On Friday, April 3, President Trump released his proposed budget for fiscal year 2027. Despite the administration professing a commitment to making America healthy, this budget proposal would cut critical nutrition service for moms, babies, and children, dramatically slashing the benefit that participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) receive to purchase fruits and vegetables — what is known as the cash value benefit (CVB).
The president’s proposed budget reflects a clear set of priorities, and those priorities come at the direct expense of federal programs that help millions of Americans meet their basic needs and achieve economic stability.
Over the past year, SNAP participation has declined by approximately 3.3 million people. This is neither a neutral correction nor evidence that fewer Americans need help affording food. It is the predictable outcome of a set of deliberate policy choices advanced by the Trump administration and a majority of Republicans in Congress — choices that systematically reduce access to the program, increase administrative burden, and shift responsibility away from the federal government and onto states, localities, and ultimately families themselves.
