Tell Your Senators: Support Families and Farmers, Restore Critical SNAP Funding
Urge Senate leadership to proceed with legislation that provides much-needed family and farm relief by passing a Farm Bill or farm relief package that reverses 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. Reject the approach taken by the House, which recently passed a Farm Bill that failed to provide any reversal of the devastating SNAP cuts.

The Senate now faces a defining choice. The House Farm Bill failed to meet the economic moment. It ignored the mounting pressures on American families, state governments, and local economies, while doing nothing to repair the most severe cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in its history.

Mother’s Day is an important time to reflect on all that we ask moms to do — and to ask ourselves what we are doing, and what we should be doing, to support them.
