"...when financial speculation manipulates the price of food, treating it as just another commodity, millions of people suffer and die from hunger. At the same time, tons of food are thrown away. This constitutes a genuine scandal. Hunger is criminal." Fratelli tutti, No. 189

Urge your senators to protect SNAP, a proven program that prevents hunger. SNAP doesn't need stricter work requirements or large cuts to its budget; it needs support from members of Congress dedicated to prioritizing the neediest among their constituents. https://t.co/LaN3rZG0Dd

The Child Tax Credit expansion bill is expected to come to the Senate floor this week. Tell your senators to pass the bill; it will benefit 16 million children who don't receive the credit because their families don't earn enough money from working. https://t.co/1YZCNxNeNK

A shutdown hurts most those least able to ride it out. Tell your reps in Congress to prevent a shutdown. https://t.co/FJPKt04476

A government shutdown hurts those least able to weather it — those relying on their next paycheck, hoping for their next meal, looking for a safe place to sleep. Tell your representatives in Congress: it's time to work together to pass a stop-gap measure. https://t.co/mEslXt6oeh

Today we celebrate the liturgical memorial of Saint Vincent de Paul who, moved by love for Christ, dedicated himself to the service of the poor and marginalized. May his example spur us on as well to draw near our brothers and sisters in need.
