Action Needed by May 18th: Arizona Groups Needed to Sign/Share Letter Opposing Structural Changes/Cuts to SNAP

From The Food Research and Action Center:

Over 1,200 national, state and community-based groups have signed a letter strongly opposing structural changes (e.g., a block grant) and budget cuts to SNAP. With your help, by May 18, we hope to get many more AZ groups on this letter.

Vermont (with a population of just over 620,000) has garnered over 50 groups to sign on! We know that with some effort, AZ – a state with a significantly larger population - can do much better. To that end, we are asking you to take two actions:

1) If your organization has not signed on yet, click here; and

2) please forward this email widely to other organizations on your e-mail list.

As Congress debates a variety of budget proposals, Members need to hear a powerful message from a diverse range of groups around the country that SNAP must be protected. We must vigorously oppose budget cuts and structural changes that would weaken SNAP’s proven ability to help the poorest and hungriest people in the country.
