Don’t sacrifice students’ health and nutrition for billionaires’ tax cuts!
Congress is moving budget proposals forward that cut nutrition assistance programs for working families and threaten school meals. Lawmakers are considering sacrificing these safety-net programs in order to provide tax cuts for billionaires and corporations.
School meals and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provide crucial support for students and their families. When students receive school meals, their behavior, comprehension, attendance, and engagement improve. SNAP, our nation’s largest-anti-hunger program, is just as important in setting students up for success in school; it is a lifeline for families struggling with food insecurity.
Congress must oppose any budget measure or other legislation that would cut anti-hunger programs.
