This year, there is increased urgency.

“Congress must take immediate action to address the devastating cuts and harmful impacts on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in the recently passed budget reconciliation law. It is imperative that Congress does not move forward with a Farm Bill — or any legislation — until the crushing impacts of this law are fully addressed.” —Food Research & Action Center (FRAC)
