The Hunger Museum clearly shows that political winds and policy changes have deep and lasting effects on the lives of millions of people facing hunger. That is why we must work together to promote systemic change through advocacy.
Together, we can improve policies at the federal, state, and local level and help the millions of Americans facing hunger. Join MAZON in action today.
Despite rising food prices and financial uncertainty plaguing low-income American families, President Trump and Republicans in both chambers of Congress enacted a deeply problematic law, including an estimated $187 billion cut from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
Join MAZON in urging your Members of Congress to safeguard the interests of American families by reversing this destructive policy, influencing its implementation, and rejecting further cuts to SNAP and other basic needs programs.
Demand Congress Protect SNAP Access for Immigrant Families
Throughout the Trump presidency, attacks on immigrant communities have become more brazen, frequent, and dangerous.
Please join MAZON in urging Congress to treat our immigrant communities with the dignity they deserve, protect their access to food assistance, and reverse President Trump’s hateful actions against our neighbors.
Just months after Congress passed sweeping budget cuts to basic needs programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) canceled its annual Household Food Security report. By cancelling what has historically been one of the most important and reliable metrics we have, they are hiding the reality of America’s hunger crisis at the same time they are worsening it.
This move disables a critical, irreplaceable indicator of the health of our economy. Without it, policymakers and advocates will struggle to identify communities at greatest risk of hunger, document the impact of harmful policy changes on our food security levels, and evaluate the efficacy of our federal nutrition programs.
Please join MAZON in urging your Members of Congress to demand that USDA reinstate this report and ensure transparency, accountability, and responsible governance.
For more information, please contact Liz Braun-Lilenfeld, MAZON’s Deputy Director of Outreach, at lbraun@mazon.org or (424) 208-7227.
