Stop Cutting Food Assistance to Fund ICE!

In July, Congress passed the One Big Beautiful Bill, giving ICE a staggering $75 billion while slashing $186 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)— the largest cut in the program’s 60-year history. These choices are not abstract. They mean less food for children, seniors, and working families already struggling to get by.

SNAP is a lifeline for over 40 million people, reducing poverty and helping families afford basic groceries. Cutting it at this scale will increase hunger, worsen health outcomes, and drive deeper economic instability. Experts warn that SNAP reductions are linked to serious health consequences and preventable deaths. This is a crisis unfolding in real time.

The Feeding Families Not Fear Act offers a clear solution: rein in excessive ICE funding and restore food assistance to the people who need it most. But Congress will only act if we demand it. Public pressure can force lawmakers to change course — and we will hold them accountable for what happens next.

Congress must decide: families or fear.

Tell your representatives to support the Feeding Families Not Fear Act now. Reject budgets that take food from families to fund ICE. Speak out, share this petition, and demand action before more damage is done.
