#MemberSpotlight: @Voice4HumanNeed will host its Human Needs Hero Fundraiser & Reception on July 16 at 5:30 p.m. in Washington D.C. to honor Deborah Weinstein for her 20-plus years of leadership in economic and social justice advocacy. https://t.co/6duFYryU5W

SNAP time limits were already harmful. Expanding them means even more people can lose access to food assistance despite continued need. We are collecting stories to document the damage these policies cause. Share yours: https://t.co/qJ06i9Ffgt

Last week, hundreds of advocates marched and arrived outside the U.S. Capitol to deliver a message to their representatives: don’t fund the lawless actions of ICE; instead invest in health care, child care, nutrition, and all the other basic needs.

#PaidLeave means being able to afford the basics - including time to care. A worker would need more than $9,500 in savings to cover 12 weeks of basic expenses and caregiving costs while away from work. @NPWF https://t.co/yrPLB8XySM

The Cycle of Underidentification:
-Schools that do not receive federal funding may be less likely to properly identify #homelessstudents
-Delays in federal funding are associated w lower academic outcomes for students experiencing #homelessness

@RepDavidValadao: More than 1,554,271 Californians who buy insurance through the ACA are now forced to pay an average of $1,176 more annually for health coverage. Health care should be affordable for all. It's time to invest in care, not ICE.

More than 300,000 companies are set to collect from the $166 billion raised by Trump’s tariffs.

Meanwhile, unless Congress steps in, American consumers who paid the price at the grocery store and the gas pump aren't likely to see a dime.

America’s unions welcome today’s historic ruling from the International Court of Justice affirming that the right to strike is a fundamental human right protected under international law.

We commend the @ITUC for their efforts in achieving this result.

After the march and rally, CHN staff joined immigrant advocates from Pennsylvania for meetings with members of Congress, urging lawmakers to reject cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, while opposing billions in additional funding for ICE and CBP. @dodsonadvocate

[Coalition on Human Needs @Voice4HumanNeed]

Earlier today, CHN along with our partners @nilc @DetentionWatch @popdemocaction marched and gathered on Capitol Hill with the message "FUND CARE, NOT ICE."
Under the blistering DC heat, we’re demanding Congress reject more funding for ICE & CBP and protect Medicaid, SNAP & ACA.

[Coalition on Human Needs @Voice4HumanNeed]

Among the speakers was Kica Matos, president of @NILC— a member of CHN — and recently voted among @TIME 100: The Most Influential People of 2026. She joined advocates calling for investment in communities, not detention and deportation.

Congratulations @Voice4HumanNeed on your leadership and zeal for all people and their needs - thanks in large part to the leadership of Deborah Weinstein.

Excited for CHN’s next chapter.

[Kim Musheno @kmusheno]

Exciting news for @Voice4humanNeed on their selection of Christopher Kang as the new executive director of this dynamic coalition. A BIG thank you to Debbie Weinstein for her 20 years of service. Her calm, steady leadership helped so many of us get through tough times!

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

[The Leadership Conference @civilrightsorg]

We will not give up the fight—in state legislatures, in the courts, and at the polls—for our multiracial democracy. We call on Congress to restore, strengthen, and modernize our voting laws. #AANHPIHeritageMonth https://t.co/tFFZOolSpv
