We signed on to support the Farmland for Farmers Act alongside 80+ allies advocating for keeping farmland in the hands of those who work the land and feed our communities, not corporations. Learn more from National Family Farm Coalition: bit.ly/4n6l9Yq

We stand in solidarity with labor movements and workers around the world who are organizing and advocating for fair treatment, dignity, and economic justice. Follow our partners @foodchainworker, ATC Nicaragua, and @NFUcanada to learn more and get involved.

Across the food system, far too many jobs are defined by low wages, unsafe working conditions and inadequate benefits. This means that the people who grow, pick, process, and serve our food cannot afford to nourish themselves and their families. #MayDay #InternationalWorkersDay

The House just passed a #FarmBill that leaves devastating #SNAP cuts in place — cuts that are already forcing families into impossible choices between food, rent, and medicine. No Farm Bill is better than a bad one. Read more from @fractweets: bit.ly/4ueCEYW

More than 3 million people — so far. This is the steepest decline in SNAP participation in nearly 30 years. Economic conditions haven't improved as the number of people receiving SNAP has plummeted and the harm will only grow as the full brunt of H.R. 1's SNAP cuts take effect.

Labor organizer, attorney & founder of @mujerxsrising Mónica Ramírez works to uplift farmworker voices & address violence against women in the food system. Read the interview: tinyurl.com/yzz29prz

#SNAP enrollment dropped by 2.5 million in six months after the “One Big Beautiful Bill”—not because need decreased, but due to historic cuts and stricter rules. Hunger doesn’t disappear when support is cut—it grows. Read more: tinyurl.com/yc6mr2np

SNAP participation has fallen by 3.3 million people over the past year, not because fewer people need help but because it is becoming harder to access. Read what is driving this and why it matters frac.org/blog/a-deliber…

The USDA has ended a program designed to help young farmers access land and capital, terminating $300 million in contracts. Read in @CivilEats: civileats.com/2025/06/24/usd…

Amid rising food insecurity, NYers need SNAP & WIC to help put food on the table. Yet funding gaps jeopardize access. Urge @govkathyhochul, Majority Leader @AndreaSCousins, Speaker Carl Heastie, & your reps to invest in these vital programs: hungersolutionsny.org/take-action

Food pantries are at a breaking point—they can't fill the gap. We need living wages and resilient local food systems. Read more: cbsnews.com/minnesota/news…

Demand is spiking at food banks as people are being cut off food assistance by H.R. 1's harsh eligibility restrictions & bureaucratic red tape — in case you needed further evidence that struggling families are not being "lifted" off SNAP.

The best evidence shows that SNAP's harsh work requirement doesn't increase employment or earnings. It just cuts people off SNAP. Yet Republicans dramatically expanded this ineffective policy in H.R. 1, putting millions more people at risk of losing SNAP. newsfromthestates.com/article/snap-w…

Caring for the earth means transforming how we grow food. We produce enough food to feed the world, yet over 700 million people still face hunger. Learn about how agroecology offers a path forward: bit.ly/3Q9lRru #EarthMonth
