1 out of 5 children go to bed hungry in the United States. 47% of SNAP (formally food stamps) participants are children under age 18. The House is expected to vote on a nutrition bill as early as Wednesday, September 18! E-mail or call your Representative and urge him or her to oppose the $40 billion in drastic cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP/food stamps). Tell your Representative a nutrition bill that would remove 4 to 6 million vulnerable people from the program violates our commitment to the common good. At a time of continued high unemployment these harmful cuts and changes will increase hunger among children, poor families, vulnerable seniors and workers who are underemployed or unable to find employment.
