The U.S. Senate is preparing to vote on a deeply harmful bill that would gut more than $1 trillion from SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and Medicaid—these life-saving programs help millions of children, seniors, veterans, and families put food on the table and gain access to critical health care.

These cuts would rip away the safety net just when it’s needed most. We can’t let this happen. Now is the time to raise your voice. We must protect SNAP. Protect Medicaid. Protect our neighbors.

Join us in our efforts to protect these critical programs by taking action with us! Here‘s how you can help:

As more people sign on to the letter, we will continually update our elected officials on the groundswell of support from their constituents who want them to protect SNAP and Medicaid.

Dear [Senator_____]

We are writing today as your constituents and as concerned members of our community to urge you to reject the harmful provisions included in the “Big Beautiful Bill” that would reduce funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Medicaid. When these programs are strong, they help families in our region get the resources they need – cuts would mean individuals will face even more challenges to put food on the table and access health care.

With nearly 50 million Americans facing food insecurity—the highest level in over a decade – we need strong federal programs, the charitable food system, and community partners, working together to solve the hunger crisis. Shifting SNAP costs to states would force state governments to reduce benefits, limit eligibility or raise taxes – the opposite of what our neighbors facing hunger say they need to thrive.

SNAP is our nation’s most effective and responsive tool in the fight against hunger. It ensures families, seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, expecting families and workers with low or unpredictable incomes can put food on the table during hard times. With food prices out of reach for too many of our neighbors, now is the worst possible time to consider cuts to this life-saving program.

These cuts to SNAP and Medicaid would have devastating consequences to families. Millions of families would lose access to the healthy foods we all need to thrive in the wake of benefit reductions. Medicaid coverage would shrink, leaving people—including children, seniors and people with disabilities—without stable access to health care. As a result, economies will be harmed — grocery stores, clinics and other health care providers would see fewer customers and patients due to food and health care cuts, impacting local economies—particularly in rural areas.

Families across this country are already making impossible choices between paying for food, rent, or medicine. SNAP and Medicaid are vital bridges for people experiencing food insecurity, and now more than ever, we must strengthen—not weaken—our nation’s safety net.

We urge you to stand with your constituents and oppose any cuts to SNAP and Medicaid. Protecting these programs is not just about policy—it is about building better lives for our communities.

Last week, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed in the house — and with it, devastating cuts:
$300 billion from SNAP
$880 billion from Medicaid

These cuts threaten the wellbeing of millions. It would tear away our safety net at a time when it’s needed most.

We must speak up.
Protect SNAP.
