Food banks have been lacking in donations since lockdown
If you don't know anyone to help personally, pls consider donating to local food banks
People will also need shampoo, soap, tampons, lotion, cleaning products (SNAP) doesn't cover these but if you can't afford food you're not buying shampoo

5.5 million people in California receive Calfresh, (SNAP) benefits. That includes all ages. The income level to qualify is very low so these ppl don't have alternative for food.
Trump & Co choose not to allow SNAP to be funded so 🚫 $ will go out for Nov
It's all states
If you can, offer to help

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.”

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Trump nominee for Ambassador to South Africa won’t affirm voting rights for black Americans.
This should've been an easy answer, yet, like most of Trump's picks, they refuse to answer directly. They know they're in the wrong and only work to support 🍊💩
