Urge Congress to Take First Step to Repeal Harmful SNAP Cuts in Upcoming Appropriation Bill

Repealing harmful SNAP cost shifts to states must be front and center as Congress works on a fiscal year 2026 appropriations package to keep the government funded after the short-term continuing resolution (CR) expires on January 30. In the upcoming appropriations package, Congress must address the devastating Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) cuts that were included in the budget reconciliation law (H.R. 1) and reverse the law’s disastrous administrative and benefit cost shift to states.

Advocacy Needed to Reinstate USDA’s Food Security Report

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced that, after this year, it will no longer release the Economic Research Service (ERS) Household Food Security report, the gold standard for measuring hunger in America. This decision silences the evidence we need to hold policymakers accountable and threatens to deepen America’s hunger crisis.
