    Military members and their families are experiencing staggering rates of food insecurity, with the newest estimates finding nearly 1 in 4 service members experiencing hunger. This is unconscionable. 🧵 1/4 rollcall.com/2023/02/16/ren…

    MAZONites are up on Capitol Hill in DC today delivering our 5th Question for Passover: “Why do we tolerate leaders who seem more intent on demeaning poor people than trying to fix the problem of #hunger?” #farmbill #SNAP #Congress #Passover

    Providing free school meals is one of the most effective ways to end the cruel practice of "lunch shaming," which publicly shames and stigmatizes students whose families are unable to pay school lunch debt.

    California Will Launch The Nation's Largest Free Student Lunch Program
    When classrooms reopen for the fall term, all of the state's 6.2 million public school students will have the option to eat school meals for free, regardless of their family's income.

    Harsh and punitive work requirements for #SNAP in the House #FarmBill have been described as "an “assault” on poor families.” Thank you @SenatorLeahy for your commitment to #ProtectSNAP.

    Our thoughts and prayers are with Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker and those being held hostage with him at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, TX. We hold their entire community in our hearts and pray for a peaceful resolution to this terrifying situation. #PrayingforBethIsrael

    Yesterday, @SpeakerRyan claimed that 12 million Americans are gaming the system. The attempts to malign those who need public assistance to get by are shameful and ignore the realities of poverty. So, we asked a friend to help explain why Paul Ryan gets this wrong.
