Congress Must Act Quickly to Restore Harmful SNAP Cuts
Congress must take immediate action to repeal the devastating cuts and harmful impacts on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that were included in the budget reconciliation law, H.R. 1. Anti-hunger advocates are urging Members of Congress to cosponsor and support the Restoring Food Security for American Families and Farmers Act of 2025, which repeals the cuts to SNAP.

Use the FRAC Action Network to urge your Members of Congress to reach out to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and demand it reinstate the Economic Research Service Household Food Security report, the gold standard for measuring hunger in America. Your message matters. Hunger will not end by ignoring it. Congress needs to act now.

Every great hero’s journey starts with a moment of preparation — a chance to gather strength, sharpen focus, and step boldly into the day ahead. For millions of students across the country, that moment is school breakfast.
Every five years, Congress reauthorizes the Farm Bill, an expansive legislative package that governs the nation’s food and agricultural systems. Though often described as an agriculture bill, it is equally a nutrition, rural development, conservation, and public health bill.
The Farm Bill reflects a longstanding bipartisan recognition that agricultural abundance and food security are inseparable. When families can afford food, farmers have stable markets. When farmers thrive, local economies grow. That compact is now under strain.
As the president prepares to deliver the State of the Union on Tuesday, millions of families across our nation — one in seven households to be exact — are struggling to put food on the table. For the 47.9 million people, including 14.1 million children, who live in these households, food insecurity is not an abstract concept. It is a daily reality, and it has only gotten worse as the cost of food has continued to climb.
