As the government reopens and SNAP benefits are restored, millions of families can finally breathe easier. But this fight against hunger is far from over.

This Shabbat, take a moment to reflect on what we have, on our Jewish values and the work still ahead.

Shabbat shalom!

This #VeteransDay, millions of food insecure Americans — including veterans — are still waiting for their SNAP benefits, and the Trump administration continues to weaponize hunger.

But even beyond today's #SNAPcrisis, veterans face unique barriers to food insecurity.

Join us and MomsRising.org in demanding the Administration fully and immediately fund November SNAP benefits. Not partial payments. Not delayed payments. Full payments now.

Read these stories from SNAP recipients across the country.

We continue to call out the fakakta.

The Trump Admin continues to spin lies as we near the SNAP cliff, with millions facing deepened hunger after Nov 1.

The Admin has both the legal authority and the funds to make sure SNAP benefits are sent, but refusing to use them.

Today is the #SNAPDayOfAction, and we need you to join us and act now.

42 million Americans are at risk of losing SNAP benefits on Nov 1st. USDA has a contingency fund but hasn't released it.

Contact your Members of Congress today.

USDA Sec. Rollins says SNAP will run out of funds Nov. 1 due to the shutdown and falsely blames Democrats.

Republicans made the deepest cuts to SNAP in history. Now they're manufacturing a crisis and blaming others for their own budget cuts.

The hypocrisy is stunning.

We are proud to join with our partners to back the Puerto Rico Nutrition Assistance Fairness Act!

Right now Puerto Rico is locked into NAP, a capped block grant. This bill would bring Puerto Rico into SNAP, a program that grows with need and ensures fairness for all U.S. citizens.

2.4M people, including veterans, will lose food assistance.

States may withdraw entirely if they can't afford $7.5B in costs.

This stunning federal disinvestment will exacerbate hunger for the most vulnerable among us.

We need to #ProtectSNAP

We're ramping up our fight to end hunger at the state level!

As we welcome this sacred time of rest, may you find peace to pause and reflect.

The battles have been long, but that's why this moment matters. Recharge with loved ones, draw strength from community.

Tomorrow's fights will be there waiting. Tonight, let your soul breathe.

MAZON advocates demonstrated our values at the "Faith & Fellowship" day of Great American Farmers Market on the National Mall this week.

Our faith demands no one goes hungry. No exceptions.

When faith meets action, we create change. As SNAP is slashed, know what is right.

Stand up for your values

Tomorrow is the #JewishDayofAction! Our values of tzedek (justice) and tikkun olam (repairing the world) call us to reject this immoral budget bill. Stripping healthcare from millions and taking food off children's tables is morally bankrupt.

Join us with @ncjw.bsky.social and NJHSA

Our Jewish faith and traditions are abundantly clear that we have a moral obligation to prevent hunger. American Jews- all of us- must demand that life-saving food be delivered to all those facing dire hunger.

We partnered with Our Big Kitchen LA and BBYO to educate teens about hunger in America. 47 million people face hunger, including 14 million children.

These young advocates wrote postcards to the USDA and made 300+ meals for Angelenos.

Advocacy is a long game, but every voice moves the needle.

We joined @aft.org, unions, activists & legal experts for a full-page NYT ad slamming the "big, ugly betrayal" - a billionaire-first agenda rammed through Congress.

This takes food off tables, abandons public education, and erodes social programs.

🚨 FACT CHECK 🚨

Secretary Rollins is WRONG. Undocumented immigrants cannot access SNAP benefits.

USDA's own website clearly states: "Undocumented non-citizens are not and have never been eligible for SNAP."

This misinformation creates fear in communities and prevents families from seeking help.

Congratulations to our amazing and dedicated partner, National Association of FDPIR President Mary Greene Trottier on her 40th anniversary as FDPIR Director for her Tribe, the Spirit Lake Nation!
