Take Action to Support SNAP this Week
As Farm Bill negotiations resume this week, take action to support SNAP with help from our national partners the Food Research and Action Center and Feeding America:
1) Participate in a nationwide Call-In Day tomorrow, Wednesday, Dec. 4; and
2) Send "Who Goes Hungry?" cards and messages to Members of Congress and the White House. SNAP Nationwide Call-In Day, Wednesday, Dec. 4:
Join advocates across the country for a nationwide call-in day to support and protect SNAP as Congress debates proposals to weaken this vital program. 1) Call toll-free to 1-888-398-8702 (Special thanks to Feeding America for providing this toll-free number!)
2) A pre-recorded message will ask you to enter your zip code. Press 1 to be connected to your Representative.
3) Let your Representative know you are calling about the Farm Bill and deliver this important message:
"As a constituent, I urge you to support and protect SNAP in any Farm Bill or other legislative vehicle. Oppose SNAP cuts."
4) Call back to repeat the process for your two senators - press "2" to be connected to your first senator and "3" to be connected to the other.
Send a Who Goes Hungry? Holiday Card FRAC's Thanksgiving and Hanukkah cards blanketed the Hill last week, largely due to your help in getting the word out and urging others to ask: "Who goes hungry?" Thank you. And with your continued support, we can keep up the drumbeat. The Who Goes Hungry website (www.whogoeshungry.org) now has holiday cards that you can send this week and next. 1) Send a holiday card to Congress and the White House.
2) Share the holiday card and promote the "Who Goes Hungry" campaign via email, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and any other social media channel you use. Click here for sample social media messages.
Thank you for your support in the fight against hunger! |
