#WhyILoveSNAP
Take part in FRAC’s #WhyILoveSNAP campaign throughout February to lift up why SNAP matters to millions of people — including children, older adults, veterans, and people with disabilities — and urge Congress to repeal the harmful SNAP cuts in the budget reconciliation law (H.R. 1). And be sure to mark your calendar for a dedicated week of action (Feb. 9–13) leading up to Valentine’s Day.
- Get vocal on social: Use this toolkit to copy and paste posts and graphics, or as inspiration to create your own, to show the power of SNAP and to pressure Congress to reverse the cuts to SNAP.
- Share stories on why SNAP matters and the harmful ripple effects of SNAP cuts.
- Spread the word: Encourage your local and state policymakers and other stakeholders to participate in the campaign.
Together, we can show our love for families and communities and help ensure that Congress hears loud and clear why SNAP must be restored and protected.
Congress Must Act Quickly to Restore Harmful SNAP Cuts
Congress must take immediate action to repeal the devastating cuts and harmful impacts on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that were included in the budget reconciliation law, H.R. 1. Anti-hunger advocates are urging Members of Congress to cosponsor and support the Restoring Food Security for American Families and Farmers Act of 2025, which repeals the cuts to SNAP.
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).

America has a hunger crisis. And it’s about to get worse.
The latest and last Household Food Security report released in December by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service (ERS) reveals that 47.9 million people lived in food-insecure households in 2024. These findings underscore a crisis that is set to deepen as the largest cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in history take effect, and the decision by the Trump administration to no longer issue the report will simply hide the impact of these cuts on food security.
The budget reconciliation law (H.R. 1/OBBBA) marks one of the most significant federal disinvestment efforts in decades, fundamentally reshaping the fiscal relationship between the federal government, states, and municipalities. By cutting roughly $187 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) while directing about $170 billion to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and delivering hundreds of billions in tax benefits to corporations and the ultra-wealthy, the law reflects political priorities — not fiscal necessity. These choices redirect resources away from children, workers, and local economies, shifting substantial social and financial burdens onto states and taxpayers.
Congress passed H.R. 1, also known as the budget reconciliation law, on July 4, 2025, making sweeping changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The cuts to SNAP will be devastating to the health and well-being of millions of people, including children, older adults, veterans, people with disabilities, and communities. The impact will not end in grocery aisles and household kitchens; cuts to SNAP will have far-reaching negative consequences for school meals and other child nutrition programs.
