Tell Trump: Stop Treating Hungry Americans Like Pawns

Trump is choosing to make Americans – including children – go hungry.

Millions of Americans rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to feed their families. But for the first time in our country’s history, Trump’s shutdown is cutting them off – right before the holidays.

And it’s not because there’s no money – we’re the richest country in the world. It’s because Trump refuses to use it.

Trump’s USDA is sitting on a $6 billion emergency fund – and his administration’s own documents said just last month that it should be used to feed people in need during a shutdown. But Trump doesn't care.

If millions of starving children doesn’t count as a genuine national emergency, what does? Trump is making a political choice to let people go hungry – and we need your help to expose it.

SIGN THE PETITION: Tell Trump to stop using hungry children as pawns, stop the cruelty, and use emergency funds to feed America’s families now.
