Increase SNAP. Include more small, independent grocery stores in the SNAP online purchasing pilot, including farm CSAs and farmers markets. Waive shipping and delivery fees for SNAP participants. Work with SNAP participants to make SNAP online better.🙌Raise the minimum wage.🙌

Disparities in SNAP online grocery delivery and implementation: Lessons learned from California during the 2020-21 COVID pandemic https://t.co/B44bzoZ3Fn

[Healthy Eating Research @HEResearch]

Following expansion of the SNAP Online Purchasing Pilot ~86% of all Calif. SNAP participants were covered by SNAP OPP in 2020-21, but only 30% of those in rural limited food access areas were covered. More findings & lessons for program implementation: https://t.co/eIakCgGLOC

[unBox @unBox2020]

Tonight—8:30 pm—in-person at pika (a cooperative living house in Cambridge, MA) we're having a discussion: envisioning a more just food system - and the action needed to take back control over what goes into our bodies. https://t.co/TwukmBarP4

[unBox @unBox2020]

Many of the regions hit hardest by food apartheid, systemic food injustice, and poverty are the same regions facing current or impending abortion bans. The fight for sovereignty over our bodies, and over our food, water, air, and land - are the same fight. #StandUpFightBack

[unBox @unBox2020]

The bodies of all people with uteruses are under coordinated attack. The end of Roe is life-altering and life-threatening. People of color, immigrants, queer people, people with disabilities, and low-income, working people face the greatest consequences if we all fail to act.

[unBox @unBox2020]

All oppression is interconnected. The same forces that enforce racism, sexism, colonialism, militarism, homophobia, transphobia, income inequality, and poverty - through written and unwritten rules - are the same forces that overturned Roe v. Wade.

#ExtendtheWICBump

The increase to WIC's veggie and fruit benefit from $9-$11 to $24, $43, and $47/month has changed participants' lives. Check out some testimonies below and urge Congress to extend WIC’s benefit bump. 🍑🍊🍉🥒🥔
