The Senate is expected to advance a stopgap funding bill, known as a continuing resolution, next week to avoid a government shutdown. It's absolutely critical for it to include a down payment on #WIC funding to ensure there's no risk that eligible people are turned away.

Thank you to WA Congresswoman Suzan DelBene for introducing this bill to make the #ChildTaxCredit permanent. Let's lift kids out of poverty!
Monthly #CTC payments helped families afford bills, groceries, & other essentials during the pandemic for their kids.
I’m leading @HouseDemocrats to bring back this benefit to help boost our economy, strengthen the middle class, & cut childhood poverty in half.
Significant policy news from the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition! Let your senators know of your support for S.1723.

The Truth & Healing Bill is gaining momentum! Thanks to @IndianCommittee who voted today to bring the bill to the full Senate floor. Survivors, Native communities and Americans deserve to know the truth about the boarding schools. #TruthJusticeHealing

Thank you @RepJayapal for speaking the truth: work requirements just take food from our most vulnerable. #SNAPMatters
@NWHarvest @ClaireCLane @Homeless2Housed @LaurenMcgowan @povertyactionwa @FaithActionWA @budget_policy @WLIHA – at Seattle, WA
Very important read on why bureaucratic requirements only serve to push away people that need the assistance most & why you can’t just kick one group off benefits & assume you can add another very vulnerable group to fill the gap. That’s not how it works. prospect.org/economy/2023-06…

We wish our Jewish neighbors Shabbat Shalom as we lift up the White House national strategy to counter antisemitism released yesterday. Pillar 4 to Build Cross-Community Solidarity and Collective Action to Counter Hate seems to be a good place to start! See page 48.

Yesterday, the White House released the first-ever U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism. This comprehensive strategy, informed by stakeholders including the Sikh Coalition, aims to tackle rising antisemitism and its threat to our democracy. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…

#FoodBanks in crisis is evidence that we can't roll back #SNAP #TAN #Medicaid @POTUS & #Congress must stand by his commitment to oppose policies that push people into poverty. #DebtCeiling seattletimes.com/seattle-new… @PattyMurray @SpeakerMcCarthy @RepJeffries @SenSchumer
Hunger is front page @seattletimes, again. This is why we urge you to write your letters today bit.ly/FANFarmBill and tell the story of why we need to prioritize people in debt ceiling and Farm Bill negotiations. People are already struggling!
