Take Action: Use the April/May Congressional Recesses to Engage Members of Congress to Reverse SNAP Cuts in H.R. 1

In anticipation of a possible floor vote this spring on the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, FRAC is working with House champions of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to urge Members to vote no on the bill, which fails to reverse any of the $187 billion in SNAP cuts in the budget reconciliation law, H.R. 1. This colossal failure to undo these cuts will lead to millions of people losing all or some of their SNAP benefits while also increasing administrative burden and establishing program costs for states.

Take Action Today

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. Use the FRAC Action Network to email your Members of Congress with a single click. 

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.

Urge Your Members of Congress to Cosponsor the Stop Child Hunger Act

Ask your Members of Congress to cosponsor the Stop Child Hunger Act (S. 1622/H.R. 3217).  This bill increases Summer EBT Program benefits for families, provides benefits during school breaks and unexpected closures, phases in the 50 percent administrative match for states, and provides funding for state implementation grants. Summer is the hungriest time of year for many children, underscoring the need to expand access to the Summer EBT Program.

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.
