Last Chance to Oppose Harsh SNAP Rule
Comment by TOMORROW to protect SNAP!

Don't wait to submit public comments on USDA's proposed SNAP rule! The comment period ends TOMORROW, April 2nd at 9pm PT.



The ability to afford food is essential to achieving and maintaining mental, physical, and financial wellbeing. SNAP helps people put food on the table--an especially vital resource for those struggling to secure stable employment and a living wage. But this administration disagrees, choosing instead to propose a rule that would take SNAP away from over 750,000 unemployed and underemployed childless adults with the purported goal of boosting their workforce participation.

Exposing more Americans to the traumatizing experience of hunger is not only cruel--it's counterproductive.

SNAP is important, effective, and efficient
SNAP provides stability when the labor market doesn't.
SNAP buys food & peace of mind.
SNAP works--harsh work requirements don't.

The USDA wants to know what you think--take advantage of this powerful opportunity to influence how policies are enacted in this country.
