WASHINGTON, February 18, 2026 — FRAC is deeply saddened by the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson, a formidable civil rights leader. For more than half a century, Rev. Jackson led significant movements in our nation’s fight for racial equality and economic justice and served as a tenacious advocate for anti-hunger policies, affordable housing, quality education, and universal health care.
WASHINGTON, February 13, 2026 — The Farm Bill text released today by House Agriculture Committee Chair G.T. Thompson (R-PA) misses a critical opportunity to fight hunger in America.
WASHINGTON, January 26, 2026 — Food over fear. Our nation’s budget is a statement of our values. Funding decisions
should reflect our shared vision for a strong and prosperous America and strengthen our communities, not weaken them.
WASHINGTON, January 21, 2026 — The Food Research & Action Center (FRAC) finds it unfathomable that Congress ignored the resounding calls from organizations, state and local leaders, and state agencies to use the appropriations process to stop the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) cost shifts to states outlined in the budget reconciliation law (H.R. 1).
WASHINGTON, January 16, 2026 — We cannot focus on farmers without focusing on the families they feed.
It is extremely disappointing that the farm proposal from Republican leaders on the Senate Agriculture Committee for inclusion in the appropriations bill fails to include investments in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), our nation’s first line of defense against hunger and a critical support for both farmers and families.
