At the recent @HungerGap convening, advocates and changemakers came together to dive into the “Be, Build, Block” framework, focusing on strategies that move beyond charity-based approaches and strengthen community-led solutions that address the root causes of hunger.

Salinas CA farm workers are harvesting strawberries in the rain. "We must keep working in this weather, otherwise we'll lose our jobs. It's difficult because our clothing gets wet. The cold makes it worse as we get the shivers. But we can't afford to lose our jobs." #WeFeedYou

Restricting SNAP food choice will not improve health outcomes or reduce hunger. What works is strengthening #SNAP, improving access to healthy foods, and making sure families can afford groceries.

Across the food system, far too many jobs are defined by low wages, unsafe working conditions and inadequate benefits.

This means that the people who grow, pick, process, and serve our food cannot afford to nourish themselves and their families.

The House just passed a #FarmBill that leaves devastating #SNAP cuts in place — cuts that are already forcing families into impossible choices between food, rent, and medicine.

No Farm Bill is better than a bad one. Read more from @fractweets:

More than 3 million people — so far.

This is the steepest decline in SNAP participation in nearly 30 years. Economic conditions haven't improved as the number of people receiving SNAP has plummeted and the harm will only grow as the full brunt of H.R. 1's SNAP cuts take effect.
