Families should not have to choose between rent and groceries. #WhyILoveSNAP is that it helps families stay fed while managing work, caregiving, and rising costs.

Tell Congress to support families and repeal SNAP cuts: secure.everyaction.com/Fmmxo-UVYE6J...

SNAP & WIC are fully funded through Sept 30, 2026. While there is a very slim chance of a federal government shutdown Jan 30, in Massachusetts, SNAP & WIC will not be affected and benefits will go out on their usual schedule. @fracposts.bsky.social @repmcgovern.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov

These are political choices, not fiscal necessities.

Hunger in the US is a policy choice. The federal push to shift SNAP costs & add administrative burdens to states as well as directly cut the #SNAP program is a choice that will have devastating consequences, including here in #CT.
