We should all be able to agree that no American should experience hunger. Take up a Farm Bill or farm relief legislation that reverses the devastating cuts and impacts on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that were included in the ugly hateful budget reconciliation law, H.R. 1. The Senate must take a very different approach to help American families and farmers than that of the House-passed bill, which fails to address any of the harmful impacts of H.R. 1 on SNAP.  The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) confirms that the SNAP cuts are inflicting widespread harm on millions, particularly children, older adults, veterans, people with disabilities, and working families — translating into greater food insecurity and hardship at a time of rising costs and difficult household choices between food, rent, and medicine. The cuts are also having dire economic impacts on farmers, food retailers, and the overall national economy.     What do you have against children, older adults, veterans, people with disabilities, and working families??? Make sure the provisions in the Restoring Food Security for American Families and Farmers Act, S. 3281 get included. Reversing the cuts is urgent, since the impacts also ripple across child nutrition programs, including school meals. Work with Senate leadership to enact legislation that mitigates the harm of the SNAP cuts in H.R. 1 – and to convey that no Farm Bill or farm relief package should pass the Senate without restoring SNAP.
