Action: SNAP benefits

[redbird]

The Trump administration wants to cut SNAP benefits to low-income women without children.

We can post opposing comments here: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/02/23/2018-03752/supplemental-nutrition-assistance-program-requirements-and-services-for-able-bodied-adults-without#open-comment

It's best to write your own comment, but if you want talking points, feel free to paraphrase what I'm sending:

"I strongly oppose the proposed regulation change. ALL Americans should have enough to eat, including adults who don't have children, or whose children are grown.

"The SNAP program helps my neighbors, some of whom are working but still cannot afford enough to eat, because of low wages or high rents. The United States is a rich country, and no Americans should go to bed hungry at night."

(I heard about this through UltraViolet.)

I just posted my comment! I also contacted the local Food + Housing Coalition last week to discuss the farm bill.

Comment sent. I was dependent on SNAP a few years ago, so it's my duty to comment and tell about that. Thank you for posting this.
