There are several ways that we can end hunger, but we have to think big and focus on bold policies. Please join us in action.
Take Action
Demand SNAP Fix in the Farm Bill
Less than a year after the passage of the Republican megabill that slashed federal food assistance in order to extend tax breaks for the wealthy, over 4 million people (10 percent of all beneficiaries) have been stripped of SNAP benefits. Despite the shocking number of Americans losing critical assistance, the worst of the law’s impacts are yet to come. If Congress does not act urgently, most states will be forced to assume hundreds of millions in SNAP benefit costs that have always been provided and ensured by the federal government.
Please join MAZON in demanding your Members of Congress include at least a two-year delay of the harmful cost shift in the Farm Bill.
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.
Please join MAZON in urging your Members of Congress to demand that USDA reinstate this report and ensure transparency, accountability, and responsible governance.
