National Action: Ongoing Effort to Urge U.S. Senators to Protect Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funding, and oppose any provisions in the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 (H.R. 7567) that would reduce benefits, tighten eligibility, or make structural changes that could harm families as the legislation moves through the Senate following House passage on April 30, 2026.
