The House Farm Bill was passed out of committee yesterday along party lines. Now's the time to urge your congressional member to #ProtectSNAP and oppose the harmful attacks on nutrition programs in this legislation. nitter.gq/PNS_News/status/986772…
Controversial changes to #SNAP are expected to be discussed under the 2018 Farm Bill today: pnsne.ws/2J30P6a

Wednesday, the House Ag Committee will mark up Chairman’s #FarmBill. Anti-hunger advocates across the country calling for an opposition to the cuts made to #SNAP. Statements about Conaway’s proposals betterfarmbill.org/ @collinpeterson @NancyPelosi

Thank you @SenFeinstein for your call to strengthen, not weaken, #SNAP as our best tool to #endhunger. The California anti-hunger community stands united in opposition to the #SNAP cuts in the Chairman’s bill and asks all #CA @HouseAgNews to vote no. bit.ly/2qEVYRN nitter.gq/senfeinstein/status/98…
The Republican farm bill would weaken nutrition programs that low-income Americans, including children & the elderly, depend on. We should be helping the more than 40 million individuals who experience food insecurity, not forcing 2 million more people to go hungry. #ProtectSNAP

Work requirements are not the same as workforce development. We need to focus more on investments in skills, and less on harsh eligibility restrictions. Please vote no on H.R. 2, and tell the Committee to get it right. @HouseAgNews @skillscoalition #wkdev

The partisan #FarmBill we will consider in #HouseAg tomorrow makes changes to #SNAP that will likely devastate parts of the program that are working well.
SNAP is vital to the health of our #SanJoaquin Valley and communities - both rural & urban - across the US.

Cutting #SNAP (food stamps) means cutting our country’s first line of defense against hunger – and charity can’t fill the gap. Learn more about food stamps and what the program means for hungry families: feeding.am/6012DZZdu #FarmBill

Today’s the final day: please get your comments in it just takes 1 minute to protect #SNAPmatters! nitter.gq/cafoodbanks/status/982…

We developed SNAP congressional district fact sheets to highlight the program’s value & urge every member of the CA Congressional Delegation to protect and strengthen SNAP and reject any block grants, structural changes or cuts that would increase hunger. cafoodbanks.org/blog/new-res…
Thanks to staff from @AD26Mathis @SenAndyVidak @SenKamalaHarris @DevinNunes for joining us at our #FarmBill discussion yesterday. #SNAP & #CalFood are great health & anti-poverty investments for #Tulare county and we need your continued support! nitter.gq/CAFoodBanks/status/977…
Why is the #FarmBill important to #California? Because #SNAPmatters as one of the best ways to fight #poverty & #EndHunger. nitter.gq/CalBudgetCenter/status…
