Thank you Senators @Sen_JoeManchin and @SenCapito for supporting the motion to table (#3383). Let’s get a bi-partisan Farm bill that protects and strengthens #SNAPWorks over the finish line.

“The Preston Growers Cooperative is a story of farmers coming together to cooperatively solve a problem. They're paving the way for other ag successes in West Virginia. I couldn’t think of a better group of farmers for Farm Aid to highlight.” --@wvfood https://t.co/KeCzXz377p

ACTION ALERT: Join us in urging Governor Jim Justice to veto HB 4001, a bill that would restrict food access for the most vulnerable in our state. He is expected to make a decision by tomorrow. Take 30 seconds and call his office today at 304-558-2000. #SaveSNAP @WVGovernor

We had THREE bills on our policy platform pass! 👩‍🌾 Thank you to each one of you who participated in this process, from bringing to our attention the issues that mattered to you to showing up for WV Local Food & Farms Day. The farming landscape in WV is looking brighter, folks!

[WV Food & Farm @wvfood]

@WVgovernor, you say that you don’t want to hurt anyone, but HB 4001 will take food out of the hands of WV’s rural populations. Our state's veterans, homeless, non-custodial parents, and those in recovery will go hungry. Learn more at https://t.co/iOTv02ltcu.

SNAP contributes greatly to WV's fragile food economy and moves agricultural product. @DrTomTakubo @DrMikeMaroney @SenatorUnger @romanprezioso @RyanWeld #wvlegis #wvpol #SNAPWorksWV

ACTION ALERT: The WV Legislature has launched another attack on SNAP. HB 4001 would institute a restrictive asset test in SNAP penalizing seniors and families with children for having extremely modest savings. Find out how to take action here: https://t.co/iOTv02ltcu
