In a wide-ranging conversation on social justice and community care, @FRACpres Crystal FitzSimons discusses hunger, nutrition policy, and the importance of protecting programs that help people put food on the table.

Hunger isn't inevitable. It's shaped by policy choices. As Congress considers FY27 Agriculture Appropriations, lawmakers must invest in proven nutrition programs and strengthen access to food assistance. Read more: https://t.co/R51AltizdW

Breakfast after the bell works. 92% of large school districts surveyed say it increases breakfast participation. FRAC’s new report highlights proven strategies to reduce hunger. Urge Congress to cosponsor the Universal School Meals Program Act: https://t.co/Js2v2c27qG

No one—including kids, people with disabilities, veterans, and older adults—should be left wondering when they will be able to eat next. The Farm Bill must restore the devastating cuts to SNAP, so millions of families can afford to put food on the table. https://t.co/Do0WtwnvSs

[Crystal FitzSimons @FRACpres]

Millions of people are losing SNAP because of devastating cuts Congress chose to make. The Senate has a chance to change course. Urge your Senators to pass legislation that restores SNAP funding and supports families and farmers. https://t.co/RYkHjCR5XN

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

Started the morning off at Rhode Island Day with my friends @RepGabeAmo, @Rep_Magaziner & @FRACpres talking about how Trump’s cuts to food assistance are hurting Rhode Islanders, Bay Staters, and folks across the country. We have to fight back!

[Crystal FitzSimons @FRACpres]

The House Farm Bill would allow private contractors to determine SNAP eligibility, replacing trained public workers who know how to navigate complex cases that families depend on for food assistance.

The Senate must do better. https://t.co/3iERxulRTk

Use FRAC’s FAN to call on your Members of Congress to fully fund WIC, without cuts to the CVB or other essential benefits. With full benefits and flexible services, WIC can continue to serve families to ensure a healthy start for infants and children. https://t.co/wv5dxhuXYC

It also highlights the value of the anti-hunger community coming together, so please join me and about 1,000 others at the conference to strategize, learn, partner, and advocate.

I want to share, A Deliberate Policy Design for Decline in SNAP Participation, and the Consequences We Are Already Seeing. It shows that 3.3 million fewer people participated in SNAP from January 2025 to December 2025 and breaks the data down by state.

[Crystal FitzSimons @FRACpres]

The dramatic participation drop in our nation's most successful anti-hunger program due to harmful policy choices reinforces the importance and urgency of our work in this moment.

Colorado’s SNAP beverage restriction could create confusion at checkout while adding new administrative costs and burdens. @fractweets latest blog examines the risks and policy design. https://t.co/RsVrC6oyZN

Behind every successful school breakfast program are school nutrition staff who show up early, work tirelessly, and put students first.

We thank them for powering learning every single day. https://t.co/3oecyS0wCQ

[Crystal FitzSimons @FRACpres]

A nutritious school breakfast helps students begin the day ready to learn. Yet too many children still miss out because of barriers to participation. Expanding access is one of the most effective ways to ensure all kids are ready for success. #NSBW https://t.co/3oecyS14so

Let’s be crystal clear: Millions of families in the U.S. are struggling to put food on the table. In her new blog, FRAC President Crystal FitzSimons outlines what the president should do in the State of the Union to end hunger. Read more: https://t.co/duIo8bQfWR
