Congressional Budget Cuts Threaten Essential Programs: Take Action Now
Leaders in Congress are advancing budget proposals that would drastically reduce funding for critical programs like SNAP—that support millions of Americans. In Louisiana alone, nearly 700,000 people rely on SNAP for food assistance, including more than 225,000 children. These programs work to combat hunger, improve health, and strengthen economic stability. Now is the time to tell your representatives that cutting food security programs is unacceptable.
Why SNAP Matters:
Health Benefits: SNAP improves health outcomes, lowers health care costs, and supports children, older adults, and people with disabilities.
Economic Impact: Every $1 in SNAP benefits generates up to $1.54 in economic activity, keeping food retailers and local businesses afloat.
Long-Term Benefits: Early access to SNAP enhances educational and economic opportunities, helping break the cycle of poverty.
The Impact of Cuts:
Increased Food Insecurity: Reducing SNAP benefits would force food banks, pantries, and charities to fill an impossible gap.
Economic Consequences: Cuts to SNAP would harm state and local economies, and grocery retailers, especially in rural and low-income areas.
Ripple Effects on Families: Households losing SNAP could also lose automatic eligibility for other essential benefits like school meals and Summer EBT.
