Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

“For every meal a food bank provides, SNAP provides nine.
We can’t replace that,” said one director. “We were not built to do this.”
Let that sink in.
Cutting SNAP doesn’t just starve families, it breaks the last line of defense against hunger.

While ICE terrorizes our communities, we’re building people power. We are showing up for one another, resisting their intimidation, and proving that solidarity will always be stronger than fear.

Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities?
Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children?
And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?
