Proposed cuts to food stamps are unacceptable

Tell your member of Congress: Proposed cuts to food stamps are unacceptable

Congress is voting on a Farm Bill right now that includes up to $21 billion in cuts to SNAP. They need to hear from you:
Sign our Petition!

Enter your information and click 'Sign Me Up' below. You will be taken to the petition where you can learn more and sign the letter to your elected officials.


Call 1-855-48TABLE (488-2253)
When you call, you will be connected to your member of Congress’ office. Here's what to say:
1.   “SNAP, formerly food stamps, is a critical anti-hunger safety net program that effectively and efficiently helps 47 million low-income Americans put food on the table. You must work to protect and strengthen SNAP, as you consider the 2013 farm bill.”
2.   “I urge you to support efforts to restore cuts to the program and to vigorously oppose any proposals that cut SNAP."  
3.  “As a constituent and a voter, I plan to stay informed about how you and your colleagues address hunger in the United States.”
