SNAP participation fell by about 332,000 people nationwide from May to June 2026, according to the latest USDA data.

That’s 332,000 fewer people participating in a program that helps millions of people afford the food they need. https://t.co/svUYnWVv5K

Food security is a foundation for student success. This school year, educators can help connect families with nutrition programs and advocate for policies that ensure students have access to healthy meals: https://t.co/kn5wcptpNj

More schools are providing meals to all students, but school meal applications and household income forms still play an important role.

From Summer EBT to education funding, here are five reasons these forms matter more than ever: https://t.co/u8wd3Yvhgh

A SNAP time limit might sound like a policy change. But what does it mean in your life?

If you’ve lost SNAP or are at risk of losing benefits because of time limits or new requirements, FRAC wants to hear your story.

A national SNAP policy can’t account for every local labor market.

The insufficient-jobs waiver gave states flexibility when communities lacked enough jobs. H.R. 1 eliminated it.

Congress should bring it back.

Nearly 5.5 million people have lost access to SNAP since H.R. 1 was enacted.

FRAC is urging Senators to reject a Farm Bill that fails to reverse these devastating cuts and leaves SNAP costs shifts to states in place.

Protecting SNAP takes action at every level of government.

States can strengthen their SNAP programs by investing in the systems and staff that help eligible families access benefits. https://t.co/svUYnWUXgc

Congratulations to Jessica Pino-Goodspeed on being named to @fractweets's Top 10 Latino/a/e Advocates to Watch.

Jessica played a leading role in the Healthy School Meals for All New York Kids campaign, which brought universal school meals to 2.7M children in NYS.

Food banks and charities can't fill the gap if SNAP is weakened. For every meal provided by food banks, SNAP provides nine. Protecting SNAP means protecting the nation's strongest defense against hunger. https://t.co/Do0WtwnvSs
