Tell Republicans: Stop Posturing. Restore SNAP Benefits.

Republicans in Congress are pretending to defend food assistance — but they’re the reason families are about to go hungry.

The government shutdown didn’t just happen. It’s the direct result of Republicans refusing to pass a budget that restores cuts to healthcare and basic services. Their stunt cut off funds to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which keeps 40 million Americans fed.

Now, they’re shifting the blame. They’re demanding Democrats let Republican cuts go through in order to restore SNAP funding. It’s blackmail. Show MAGA Republicans you won’t be fooled. 

Tell House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, and Republicans in Congress: “Stop posturing on hunger. Pass a deal that saves healthcare for millions and reverse Republican SNAP cuts.”

Trump Republicans forced a deal that slashed food aid nationwide while protecting tax breaks for billionaires. Food banks are overwhelmed. Families are being told they no longer qualify for help. And Republicans’ answer? More of the same — doubling down on “work requirements” they know are benefit cuts in disguise.

SNAP is one of America’s most effective anti-hunger programs. It helps veterans, kids, and working parents put food on the table. But instead of protecting it, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune are helping Trump’s allies hold it hostage — trading people’s groceries for politics.

We can stop them. Public pressure already stopped deeper Medicaid cuts this spring — and it can do it again.

Add your name now to tell Republicans in Congress to stop playing games. They should reject Republican cuts to healthcare and food assistance now.

The petition to House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, and Republicans in Congress reads: “Stop posturing on hunger. Pass a deal that saves healthcare for millions and reverse Republican SNAP cuts.”
