Anti-Hunger Advocate Calls Out USDA Budget Proposal as Further Failure to Address Hunger Following the release of another cruel budget request from the White House, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Brooke Rollins testified today about her agency’s proposal before the House ...

We are calling out the Trump administration's latest budget proposal for what it is: a direct attack on hungry families.

Millions of families depend on SNAP, WIC, and child nutrition programs to survive. The White House's latest budget continues gutting all of them.

Tax Day arrives with Republicans struggling to sell their cuts The GOP hoped its "big, beautiful bill" would raise its political fortunes, but is finding last year's tax cuts overshadowed by Iran and rising costs.

This Tax Day, billionaires are celebrating their GOP tax handouts while everyday Americans are struggling to afford groceries and being stripped of critical food assistance. The Trump administration isn't cutting waste. It's cutting food benefits.

SNAP Tracker: People Are Losing Food Assistance as the Republican Megabill Is Implemented SNAP participation nationwide fell by 2.5 million people (6 percent) between the law’s July 2025 enactment and December of that year, the latest month of data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

3.4M people cut from food assistance in a single year.

Not because they no longer need help. Not because the economy improved. But because Congress chose tax cuts for the rich over hungry families.

This is a hunger crisis created by policy.

Agriculture secretary’s religious Easter message to all employees sparks internal backlash and a formal complaint | CNN Politics A “Christ is Risen” Easter message sent by the secretary of agriculture has sparked backlash inside the department, angering some of its nearly 100,000 employees and prompting a formal complaint again...

We cannot be silent in the face of this blatant and offensive violation of our Constitution's imperative that there be a separation between church and state.

Sec Rollins leads a government agency, not a religious institution. America is not a theocracy, it's a constitutional democracy.

Half of Americans Struggle to Afford Food, Changing How They Shop and Dine Half of Americans are struggling to afford food, and food anxiety is a reality for the majority of people, according to LendingTree research.

If your Passover seder cost more this year, you are not alone, and it goes far beyond the holiday.

Nearly half of all Americans are struggling to afford food and we do not even know the full picture since the USDA canceled a survey that measured hunger for 30 years.

We are not looking away.

In failing to address hunger, this legislation has also lost what made the Farm Bill coalition so impactful.

Frankly, it should no longer even be called a ‘Farm Bill’ in that it includes only a meaningless shell of its longstanding nutrition title.

Hold Congress Accountable for Cuts to SNAP

During last night’s State of the Union, President Trump claimed he “lifted” 2.4 million people off SNAP.

The truth is that his policies are cutting people from food assistance — not because their situation has improved.

Take action and tell your members of Congress to protect SNAP:
