Budget committees in the House and Senate will be marking up proposals this week and the Food Research and Action Center anticipates floor votes will come next week. Please take a moment to join in the following three actions:1. Contact Senators Murray and Cantwell and your member of Congress and ask them to oppose any efforts to cut or alter the structure of SNAP. Be sure to let them know that the words “enhanced state flexibility” is code words for block granting SNAP.
2. Please sign your organization (if you are allowed to do so) and yourself as an individual onto this petition opposing SNAP cuts: bit.ly/1FUaioE Please also share the link with your networks—on Twitter, tag @fractweets and use #SNAP.
3. Please also participate and share the word about Rep. Jim McGovern’s virtual paper plate campaign. Write a message about what SNAP means to you and it will go on a paper plate on his website and he is reading messages in his weekly 5 minute #EndHungerNow speeches on the House floor. When you share information about the campaign, use #FillUpYourPlatehttp://mcgovern.house.gov/FillUpYourPlate
