Have you joined yet!? @AliceAluoch is talking about the history of racism in SNAP now!! @TweetAtCPG @CLASP_DC

[Community Partnership Group (CPG) @TweetAtCPG]

[Work requirements] do nothing to address the inequities or promote economic stability. Taking away food assistance for those struggling to find work does nothing to help people. #CPGTweets

[Community Partnership Group (CPG) @TweetAtCPG]

There's a history of racism that illustrates Black and brown people as inherently lazy, so those who are working are worthy of public benefits and those who don't work as unworthy. This perpetuates racial and gender stereotypes and inequity. #CPGTweets

The quality of your health care shouldn’t be decided by your employer, nor should people who can’t work be denied access to certain life-saving medications or treatments. We believe health care should be federally-funded and universal.

@TweetAtCPG Black people deserve reparations for the transatlantic slave trade, chattel slavery, Black codes, Jim Crow, redlining, the War on Drugs, police brutality, and exclusion from the nation’s first public benefits programs.

[CLASP @CLASP_DC]

Laws that make it illegal or difficult for people experiencing unsheltered homelessness to keep themselves safe are cruel and unnecessary. Public space is meant for everybody, including our unsheltered neighbors. #DecriminalizeHomelessness

[CLASP @CLASP_DC]

DECRIMINALIZE POVERTY:

Stop putting Black and Brown mothers in jail for not living in the right zip code and sending their kids to “out of district” schools.

[CLASP @CLASP_DC]

STUDENT ACCESS TO BENEFITS:

We’re told that the first step in the American dream is getting your education. However, being a student limits the assistance you can receive. Congress must expand student eligibility for public benefits like #SNAP and the #EITC.
