While the Government Is Shut Down, Our Advocacy Efforts Continue

SNAP Advocacy

November 2025 SNAP Benefits – Urge USDA to use its authority to ensure that full November SNAP benefits are not delayed – and to make clear that hunger is a policy choice. Get vocal on social using FRAC’s digital media toolkit – with social media messages and downloadable graphics.

Repeal Devastating SNAP Cuts – The Restoring Food Security for American Families and Farmers Act of 2025 would repeal the damaging budget reconciliation cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and will soon be introduced.

Take Action:

Organizations – Sign and share a letter organized by FRAC and the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) calling on Members of Congress to cosponsor the Restoring Food Security for American Families and Farmers Act of 2025.

Individuals — Use the FRAC Action Network (FAN) to send a ready-to-go email to your Members of Congress urging them to reject any Farm Bill that does not address the recent, devastating SNAP cuts and to actively pursue every legislative avenue to restore SNAP.

WIC Advocacy

The Senate-passed funding level ($8.2 billion) for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) ensures that WIC can meet anticipated participation and safeguard the cash value benefit (CVB) that allows WIC participants to purchase fruits and vegetables.  

Take Action:

Individuals – Use the FRAC Action Network to easily send a pre-populated email, or craft your own, to your Members of Congress. Use and share the FRAC-led letter signed by nearly 400 organizations that urges Congress to continue its nearly 30-year bipartisan commitment to fully fund WIC.

Advocacy Needed to Reinstate’s 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. 

Take Action:

Individuals – Use the FRAC Action Network to urge your Members of Congress to reach out to USDA and demand it reinstate the ERS Household Food Security report.

Hundreds of Organizations Urge Congress to Fully Fund WIC

Nearly 400 organizations signed on to a letter urging Congress to fully fund WIC at the Senate-passed level of $8.2 billion to ensure families can access essential nutrition benefits. The letter calls for enforceable language in any spending bill and continued bipartisan support to maintain the full value of the fruit and vegetable benefit. See FRAC’s news release here.
