CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVE TODAY!
Call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 or click
here to find your Congress member and to express your opposition to any budget proposal that cuts SNAP/CalFresh or changes its funding structure.
Specific asks to members and staff:
- Oppose any budget resolution that requires cuts or would change the financing structure in key programs like SNAP that help struggling families afford the basics, including food on the table, a roof over their heads, and access to health care.
- Oppose any budget that includes "reconciliation instructions" that would create a fast-track process to force cuts to mandatory spending programs like SNAP/CalFresh, Medicaid/Medi-Cal, SSI, and TANF/CalWORKS.
- Oppose any legislation that would allow states to change or eliminate the federal guaranteed benefit for basic needs, such as food, shelter or medical care, for eligible participants.
-
Don't cut, protect and strengthen SNAP/CalFresh!
CalFresh helps struggling families and workers in our state put healthy food on their tables, improves academic and economic opportunity, and boosts our national, state, and local economies.
- Remind your Representative that before we made a national commitment to end hunger, some areas of the country had serious problems with hunger, including children suffering from malnutrition. We don't want to go back to that.
