In the Spotlight
The House Agriculture Committee has voted to advance a Farm Bill that fails to reverse the unprecedented $187 billion in SNAP cuts enacted by H.R. 1. Instead of protecting the 42 million Americans who rely on SNAP, this proposal threatens to strip food from hungry households while ignoring the program’s critical support for farmers and local economies.
FRAC is calling on leadership to reject this legislation. No Farm Bill is better than this bad Farm Bill.

In the Spotlight
The far-reaching consequences of H.R. 1 will be felt in every corner of the country.
Although the fallout will be local, the design is federal. Despite strong opposition from governors, advocates, and public health leaders, this law shifts financial and administrative responsibility for SNAP to states and localities — while restricting eligibility, expanding time limits, and eliminating core nutrition education programs.
Learn how the impacts of H.R. 1 will be felt throughout your community.
SNAP Choice
Restricting food choice with ANAP ignores the root causes of poor nutrition. These mandates create costly administrative hurdles for states and retailers while fueling stigma at the checkout line.
