Action Alert: Urge Your Member of Congress to
Vote No on House Budget Resolution That Would Cut
SNAP
The FY2017 Budget Resolution voted out of the House Budget Committee last week threatens severe budget cuts to essential federal programs serving low-income families and individuals and proposes to block grant SNAP (through a “State Flexibility Fund”). If enacted, these changes would mean more hunger and deeper poverty for very vulnerable people, including families with children, elderly people, and people with disabilities.
