It’s validating and truly powerful to see the order requiring the Trump administration to fully fund and issue SNAP benefits by tomorrow.
Now, we must keep the pressure up to make sure the Trump administration drops this unconscionable appeal and immediately releases SNAP contingency funds.

Last night, we went to the USDA building to send a big message to Trump: Half isn't good enough—FULLY fund SNAP. Trump has the power to stop this but chooses politics over people. One in eight families rely on SNAP, and half funding means hunger. Don't starve families so you can play politics.

In a shocking announcement of his apparent intent to defy multiple federal courts, Trump announced that his administration will refuse to fund SNAP until the shutdown ends.
