Urge your Senators to vote to protect and strengthen SNAP!


The Senate is expected to vote on the Farm Bill sometime this week.  It protects SNAP.
Join National SNAP Call-in Day TODAY, Tuesday, June 26. Please call your Senators today and ask them to protect SNAP! Urge them to vote yes on S. 3042  which protects SNAP benefit levels and eligibility, and keeps food on the table for struggling low-income people.

Take these steps to protect SNAP in the Senate Farm Bill:
Call Today - Tuesday, June 26, 1-888-398-8702, and enter your zip code to be connected to your Senators. (Toll-free number courtesy of Feeding America.) 

Urge your Senators to vote to protect and strengthen SNAP, to vote “Yes” on the Senate Agriculture Committee version of the Farm Bill (S. 3042), and to vote “No” on any and all harmful amendments that would cut or weaken SNAP. 


Background
S. 3042 passed the Senate Agriculture Committee on June 13. It is expected to be taken up by the Senate this week, with a vote likely on Thursday, June 28. Unlike the House Farm Bill (H.R. 2), the Senate bill protects SNAP benefit levels and eligibility, and keeps food on the table for struggling low-income people.
