I was glad to share my perspectives on the #SNAP provisions in the debt ceiling proposals with @WYPR881FM here in #Baltimore.

The short version? So called "work requirements" don't work.

Marian Wright Edelman founded the Children’s Defense Fund and the Washington Research Project (WRP), where she focused on lobbying Congress for child and family nutrition programs! #WomensHistoryMonth

Do you have someone who inspired you to speak up, instills courage and the hope of changing the world for the better? Marian Wright Edelman is that for me – a living legend who charged our nation to value and care for every child. (1/6)

Big program change for #SNAP is coming this month! The temporary pandemic increases for SNAP benefits will end, reducing #SNAP amounts for families in 35 states. A helpful breakdown from @CenterOnBudget: https://t.co/gPEaKY2exM

Marian Wright Edelman called on us to value & care for every child—so every family has the opportunity to thrive.

8M+ kids still live in poverty. As I think about work we still have to do, I do so guided by Black trailblazers like Edelman. https://t.co/iY73E6asg2

“This is a cost shift from the federal government,” said FRAC's @emv52. “It shifts the burden of hunger onto states & counties, to the charitable sector, but of course, most harshly, it shifts the burden to that household to try to make do with even less.” https://t.co/UUy3ZDO2nO

“Families struggling to put food on the table should not also struggle to access help. SNAP navigators are a free and confidential one-stop to help New Jerseyans access food assistance,” said Commissioner Adelman. Learn more: https://t.co/mBrVBtj1Ua

"True food security exists when all people, at all times, have physical, economic and social access to safe, sufficient and nutritious food," said @MarkDinglasan, director of the Office of the Food Security Advocate.

We raised the minimum SNAP benefit to $50 a month in January. But rising need amid inflation means that's just not going to cut it.

My bill would secure a minimum floor of $95 for folks in New Jersey.

That's 46,000 families more financially equipped to keep food on their table.

Despite glaring racial #healthdisparities, only a third of those polled by @EagletonPoll feel #race has a major influence on #health. Results will guide @RWJF's work to raise awareness of the role that #racism plays in achieving #healthequity.

"For many children, #schoolmeals are a necessity, not a luxury. We have seen the benefits of easier access for families; now we are witnessing the perils of taking that access away." Read an op-ed by @fracprez, Luis Guardia and @NationalPTA's Anna King. https://t.co/VkBPQs4ovZ

Big love tonight for the hunger fighters and @pai_org Board Member Luis Guardia and his team. Congratulations @fractweets on 50 years of fighting #hunger and #malnutrition in the US and ensuring that our kids are healthy and nourished so they can achieve their full potential.
