.@SDHungerCo: Proposed #SNAP cuts in the @HouseAgNews #FarmBill would worsen #hunger in #California. kpbs.org/news/2018/apr/… @DarrellIssa @RepDuncanHunter @RepSusanDavis @RepScottPeters @RepJuanVargas

The House Farm Bill was passed out of committee yesterday along party lines. Now's the time to urge your congressional member to #ProtectSNAP and oppose the harmful attacks on nutrition programs in this legislation. twitter.com/PNS_News/statu…

Post Nutrition Fair highlights -seeing the after school kids eating lettuce and telling me they love it AND parents emailing that their kids were excited to eat steamed cauliflower! Thanks @FoodLinkTC #Nutrition #KidsDeserveIt

Wednesday, the House Ag Committee will mark up Chairman’s #FarmBill. Anti-hunger advocates across the country calling for an opposition to the cuts made to #SNAP. Statements about Conaway’s proposals betterfarmbill.org @collinpeterson @NancyPelosi

Thank you @SenFeinstein for your call to strengthen, not weaken, #SNAP as our best tool to #endhunger. The California anti-hunger community stands united in opposition to the #SNAP cuts in the Chairman’s bill and asks all #CA @HouseAgNews to vote no. bit.ly/2qEVYRN twitter.com/senfeinstein/s…

Work requirements are not the same as workforce development. We need to focus more on investments in skills, and less on harsh eligibility restrictions. Please vote no on H.R. 2, and tell the Committee to get it right. @HouseAgNews @skillscoalition #wkdev

Have an appetite for a book talk? Join us along with author Andy Fisher to talk more about chronic hunger and food insecurity in America. "The time is ripe for change in the hunger movement." - @FisherFood @FresnoStateASI @FoodLinkTC @Fresno_State

The partisan #FarmBill we will consider in #HouseAg tomorrow makes changes to #SNAP that will likely devastate parts of the program that are working well. SNAP is vital to the health of our #SanJoaquin Valley and communities - both rural & urban - across the US. #ProtectSNAP

Cutting #SNAP (food stamps) means cutting our country’s first line of defense against hunger – and charity can’t fill the gap. Learn more about food stamps and what the program means for hungry families: feeding.am/6012DZZdu #FarmBill

Today’s the final day: please get your comments in it just takes 1 minute to protect #SNAPmatters! twitter.com/cafoodbanks/st…

We developed SNAP congressional district fact sheets to highlight the program’s value & urge every member of the CA Congressional Delegation to protect and strengthen SNAP and reject any block grants, structural changes or cuts that would increase hunger. cafoodbanks.org/blog/new-resou…
