This is the THIRD administrative action in the last year aimed at cutting food assistance from people who need it — including seniors, people with disabilities, working families, and children.
These disastrous plans cannot go forward unchecked. That’s why we need your help today. The Trump Administration must read and record every unique message they get on this plan.
Take one minute now to add your name to oppose it.
It’s hard to fathom why anyone would take away much-needed food benefits from millions of families. But the Trump Administration’s latest rule goes even farther — cutting SNAP benefits by taking away a state’s ability to determine how heating and cooling bills are accounted for when determining SNAP eligibility. This move would force families facing hunger to make a choice: put food on the table OR pay to heat your home. Not both.
If this proposed rule is allowed to take effect, it would take 568 MILLION meals every year off the tables of families who rely on SNAP food assistance to afford groceries. Just how many meals are on the line? Enough to feed the entire population of Los Angeles — 142 times over.
Those are meals that help kids learn and thrive in the classroom. Meals that take care of seniors who have served their communities for years. Meals that help people from all walks of life get back on their feet. And without these meals, families may go hungry.
The best way for you to fight back is to provide a comment about why you oppose this hurtful change. Every comment will be read and considered, so we need as many people as possible to speak up today.
Please, add your name right now while you're thinking about it.
