SNAP is a lifeline for 1.1M MA residents. Proposed federal cuts would be devastating for these children, seniors, and people with disabilities, and would harm our state’s economic vitality. Learn more about how these cuts would hurt MA here⬇️ mass.gov/news/governor-…

Thank you Rep. Jim McGovern for your unwavering leadership to #DefendSNAP. As a true champion to people facing hunger, you lift their voices on Capitol Hill & fight fiercely. We proudly stand with you in the effort to help folks put food on the table. #SNAPmatters #MakeHungerHistoryMA

SNAP helps millions of kids eat. Now Congress wants to gut it — slashing $300 billion to fund tax breaks for the wealthiest households and corporations. It’s cruel, calculated, and happening this week. Contact your Senator now: secure.everyaction.com/lmBv70YdQkCuGF… frac.org

1 in 6 MA residents use SNAP to help buy groceries. 1 in 3 depend on MassHealth. The bulk of residents harmed are kids, older adults and persons with disabilities. This bill would slash these lifelines, making hunger, poverty, and poor health worse across the Commonwealth.

The GOP bill dumps $53M/year in SNAP costs onto MA immediately & up to $660M/year in SNAP benefits starting in 2027. SNAP brings $2.6B fed. food $ annually to MA & shifting fed. costs to states would end SNAP’s role as one of the best tools we have to support local economies.
