If we don’t eat, it’s because Trump and Republicans chose to starve America.

SNAP feeds nearly 42 million people every month. That’s about 1 in 8 Americans! As of Nov. 1, that lifeline has been shut off.

Republicans have shut down the government, blocking healthcare for 22 million people and are refusing to release $6 billion in emergency food funds. Because of their inaction, SNAP benefits have stopped.

Who is affected?

About 40% of SNAP participants are children. 

More than 62% of SNAP participants are families with children. 

More than 37% are in families with members who are older adults or are disabled.

More than 38% are working-class families

Trump and Republicans are choosing to starve America. 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is still withholding $6 billion fund meant for emergencies like this one, even though they are legally required to release it. This is immoral and illegal. 

The Trump Administration has also cancelled 94 million pounds of food aid to food banks, which are not equipped to fill the gap once SNAP benefits are shut off.

Additional Resources

For state-by-state estimates of how many people in each state rely on SNAP, see this resource. 

Food banks are a critical resource for communities in need:

  • Find a food bank near you.

  • Donate to a food bank near you.

Our healthcare is also on the line.

At the same time families are losing food stamps, millions are being kicked off their healthcare.

With open enrollment for Affordable Care Act plans starting November 1, premium hike notices are already hitting mailboxes. If Congress doesn’t act, ACA tax credits will expire and premiums will skyrocket by up to 75%, pushing millions off their healthcare coverage.

Republicans have chosen to keep the government shut down for weeks rather than protect healthcare and keep food on the table for Americans.
