Stand With States Protecting SNAP Recipients

A coalition of 20 states is taking a bold stand to protect food stamp recipients from an illegal and invasive data grab by the Trump administration.

The new USDA policy demands states collect and share personal information — including immigration status, birthdates, and home addresses — of people receiving SNAP (food stamp) benefits. Civil rights advocates and state leaders warn this move is a thinly veiled attempt to scare families away from accessing the help they need.

These states are suing to stop this harmful overreach and protect millions of families from being targeted and punished simply for needing help.

Add your name to stand with the states fighting to protect privacy, dignity, and access to food assistance for all!
