Participation in the SNAP program reduces food insecurity and costly health care needs for low-income families. The Farm Bill is an important opportunity to (1) protect SNAP, (2) strengthen the program and (3) increase access to SNAP all at once. This is important for health.

Chair Stabenow’s proposal rejects the false premise that improvements in #SNAP must come at the expense of food assistance for low-income families who count on SNAP to put food on the table. My full statement on the farm bill proposals released today: cbpp.org/press/statemen…
🧵 #PuertoRico's Nutrition Assistance Program #NAP would be cut by more than $700M over the 2027-2033 period under the Farm Bill proposal that House Agriculture Committee Chair Glenn “GT” Thompson will reportedly unveil within the next few weeks cbpp.org/research/food-…
It’s time states build an economy that works for *everyone* by applying a #BlackWomenBest framework to center Black women in tax policy: cbpp.org/research/state…
Ok yes, it's #TaxDay2024. But try to resist the urge to groan about it! This isn’t just a civic duty, it's a civic opportunity. We can use the tax code to seed justice and build more equitable communities. Today’s the day we pitch in on the future we want to see. 🧵
Yesterday, @CenterOnBudget submitted an amicus brief along with @LawyersComm and @NLIHC to the U.S. Supreme Court in support of protecting the rights of unhoused people who have nowhere else to go and are just trying to survive. @homeless_law #JohnsonVGrantsPass
I love how Black folks take something that was meant to be offensive (calling Black folks "DEIs" 😒) and turn it into a joke. It dismantles the weapon (and turns it into something *we* can enjoy) and makes fools out of those who try to harm us with it. Our humor is medicinal.
This is great news!!!
People should be able to buy the foods that meet their dietary requirements, cultural preferences & other needs. Efforts to restrict the food that SNAP participants can buy would add costly red tape & take agency away from & increase stigma on people who need SNAP.

Participation in the SNAP program reduces food insecurity and costly health care needs for low-income families. The Farm Bill is an important opportunity to (1) protect SNAP, (2) strengthen the program and (3) increase access to SNAP all at once. This is important for health.

@TyJonesCox I'm not sure why they're trying to cut SNAP benefits. It's not like it's a handout. It's a lifeline for people who are struggling.
