This #ThanksTaking, we're thanking YOU, our members.
The last 10 months have tested us. But they have reminded us that when we stand together, we're capable of more than we realize. Together, we will overcome. Not because it’s easy, but because solidarity, care, & collective power carry us forward.

“We urge her to use State funds to pay for all or some of November SNAP benefits, just as multiple other states have already done.”
